More Memorable Than My First Prom {Wylie Senior Activities}

2013 Prom King and Queen Shelton and Beverly Bryan

Forty five seniors participated in the first Wylie Recreation “Senior” Prom on April 26, 2013 at Bart Peddicord Community Center in historic downtown Wylie. Participants enjoyed the underwater paradise theme, friendship and fun.

The prom included a live band, dancing, food and decorations. Event was coordinated by Center staff with donations from Garnet Hill, Winter’s Park and Founder’s Plaza.

Participants stated that the event was more memorable than their first prom, and many of the seniors stated that this was the first prom they have ever had.

Archery Training {Wylie Recreation Center}

This week I attended Archery Academy in Grand Prairie hosted by the Archery Trade Association and Texas Parks and Wildlife Division. I joined twenty-four other municipal Parks and Recreation professionals to learn about valuable tips and ideas that help build successful recreational archery programs. We wrapped up the training with a “shoot off”. I proudly took second place honors (congratulations, City of Allen on taking first place,) and I am excited about applying what I learned at Wylie Recreation Center!
