Close to 200 Greater Fort Erie Secondary School (GFESS) students will be hitting the dance floor in a couple of weekends to celebrate a major chapter of their lives coming to a close. Prom night is set for June 13 at The Brock Niagara Falls-Fallsview and although it will be a memorable occasion, it may also be expensive. That’s why more than 20 students took several hours out of their Saturday to participate in a car wash fundraiser, bringing in money to offset the cost of the event.
