Monson Savings Bank Provides $1,000 Donation for East Longmeadow High School Prom
Monson Savings Bank is all about supporting the local communities and is frequently seen throughout the local communities showing their dedication in various ways. Most recently, President and CEO of Monson Savings Bank Dan Moriarty and East Longmeadow Branch Manager Aimee Kohn met at the East Longmeadow Branch to present high school senior Brianna Conant with a $1,000 donation to support East Longmeadow High School’s (ELHS) Senior Prom.
With all of the hardships that the pandemic has presented in the past year and a half, the ELHS Parent Group wanted to make sure that students did not miss out on their prom, a highlight of senior year. They also wanted it to be a stress free experience for the Class of 2021 so the ELHS Parent Group sought donations from East Longmeadow businesses to offset the cost of prom for this year’s senior class. The donations are being used to lower the price of prom tickets and other senior year expenses.
“We are pleased to support the East Longmeadow High School senior prom this year,” said Dan Moriarty, President and CEO of Monson Savings. “It has been a difficult year for everyone, I am happy to know that the seniors are being relieved of some of the financial burdens associated with prom so that they can just focus on enjoying this special night.”
Since most proms were canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, ELHS Class of 2021 is very excited and grateful to have a prom this year. The students have been busy planning their prom for the past few months. The anticipated event is scheduled for Thursday, June 3rd, at The Log Cabin. Brianna Conant, a senior at East Longmeadow High School, expressed her happiness about the event taking place.
“We are all so happy we are able to have our prom,” said Brianna Conant, ELHS Senior. “We were not sure if it going to be possible at first but we are so grateful to Monson Savings Bank and other local businesses who helped to make this a reality for us.”
Aimee Kohn, East Longmeadow Branch Manager shared how important her memories of prom were as well as how, as the manager of the new East Longmeadow branch, she is so happy to support the local community.
"I had such a fun time at my prom and I am so happy to see that, even though this year has thrown so many obstacles in their way, the East Longmeadow High School Seniors can attend their prom and make memories that will stay with them forever," said Aimee Kohn, East Longmeadow Branch Manager. “I love supporting East Longmeadow and all of our communities so this is really exciting.”
