WESTFIELD - What does a prom dress shop have to do with sports andentertainment management? Sports and entertainment management involves the four functions ofmanagement - planning, organizing, implementing and controlling.This method applies to everything from a birthday party to a yardsale to a high school football game to a spaghetti dinner to theSuper Bowl and everything in-between. Students in Kimberly Abbey's Sports and Entertainment Management IIhave been assigned a task that will allow them to plan, organizeand implement a prom dress shop. Students have learned"controlling" is last step of any event that happens after theevent - was it worth it? Did we make any money? Should we do itagain and if so what needs to change? They will be responsible forwriting a business plan focusing on the wants and needs of the promgoers in the community. "In a general discussion about the prom as an event, my studentswanted a way to ease the financial burden of going to the prom andthis seemed like a good place to start," Abbey said. The student event planners have been working hard creating anddistributing a student survey, understanding their target market,figuring out how to use the space they have to sell the dresses,organizing a dress drop off, when to open their "shop," creating amission statement, marketing and advertising their event andpricing of the dresses. All proceeds will go towards the AfterProm. After much planning and organizing, Abbey's students will beimplementing their sale on April 26 and 27 in the school lobbyduring second block. Flyers have been created and put up in thehalls and an announcement will be read each morning the week of thesale. Students are encouraged to come and take a look at thedresses that have been collected from Westfield Academy and CentralSchool faculty and staff members as well as other students. The interesting work comes afterwards when students will take alook at the event to see how it can be improved for next year.According to Abbey, her students are already talking about askingother districts to join in next year. They are willing to plan theentire event for students in surrounding districts. The April eventis a great learning ground before reaching out to other schools. "I really wanted a way for my students to organize an event basedon what they have learned in theory and put it into practice,"Abbey said. "Also being able to help out other students in ourdistrict makes this project a win-win.".
