Casper kids who couldn’t attend high school prom still got a chance to dance the night away thanks to some locals. Oil City News reports when community member Jenn Johnston-Moore saw a Facebook post from a current student expressing sadness and confusion at being told her boyfriend couldn’t attend her senior prom, Johnston-Moore took matters into her own hands. She and her high school sidekick Kylie Wall put on a “Rebel Formal.” Oil City Beer Company donated a space and a GoFundMe furnished the snacks and drinks.

Students at Westside Elementary School in Powell have a sturdy new place to store their playground equipment. The Powell Tribune reports PE teacher Luke Robertson approached Northwest College’s welding department for a fix to their current flimsy racks.
