SLIPPERY ROCK - Slippery Rock High School students will use fashion to fund raise for this year's senior prom.

The Prom Fashion Show, scheduled for 6 p.m. on Wednesday, will feature 39 couples from all four grades serving as models. About 20 businesses will be on hand to show their prom-related wares.

Senior Suzanne Yurko said students organized a similar fund-raising event last year, but stuck to just the modeling. When they invited business owners to participate this year, they didn't expect such a turnout.

Money raised at the event will help pay for the senior prom on April 22 at Shakespeare's Restaurant in New Sewickly.

Tickets cost $2 each and a Chinese auction is also held to raise money with participating businesses donating items for the auction. Students will provide entertainment as well in the form of piano playing and singing.
