Here are some Night to Shine Dover questions and answers that might be helpful!
⭐️ 1. Can I drop my attendee off and leave?
You can drop your attendee(s) off starting at 5:30 PM (no earlier please) and pick them up at the conclusion of the prom (9:00 PM). We ask that you please make sure your King or Queen is properly checked in for the event. At the conclusion of the event, Kings and Queens must check out with our volunteers prior to leaving.
If you have signed up to stay and enjoy Respite on the King and Queen registration, we hope you will stay and enjoy the Respite area with light refreshments.
⭐️ 2. Will you have medical staff on site and can they administer medications?
Yes, we have our wonderful certified nurses from Integrity Nursing LLC, who will be on staff with us during our evening to assist with any medical issues that should occur.
Please note, our nursing staff will NOT be administering any kind of medication. In the event medication is needed by any of our attendees, that will need to be given by their parent/guardian/caretaker.
⭐️ 3. What should guests of honor wear?
This is a prom so feel free to go all out and get fancy! Please note, prom dresses and tuxes are NOT required.
⭐️ 4. What kind of food will be served for the Kings and Queens?
We will have both grilled and fried chicken tenders, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad and rolls served to our guests prepared by the Dover High School Culinary Department, Capital Cafe. We will also have chocolate and vanilla cupcakes for dessert. This includes gluten free and sugar free cupcake options available as well! Tea, lemonade and water will be served as beverages.
