How to make a statement with a question: five ways to prom-pose

Creative crushes will use the two strongest motivators to ask their special date to Prom: food and originality.
March 25, 2015
There comes a time in many teenagers’ lives where the pivotal moment finally occurs and one has to make the crucial and life-changing decision: how am I going to prom-pose? With prom now less than a month away, it’s time for you lonely and love-struck students to find your courage, and either get really creative really fast or take these tips on how to invite your date to the big dance.
1. Appeal to their sporty side
Who doesn’t love a good plethora of puns? Use their favorite sport’s ball or balls as the canvas to ask them out. For example, on a volleyball player’s ball, “I really ‘DIG’ you and I’d love to ‘SET’ up a date for us to Prom.” Many drawings of hearts optional.
2. D-I-Y puzzle
Although you might not have heard of it before, it is entirely possible (and easy) to make (or buy) your own puzzle with a photograph. Take a picture of you holding up the sign asking them to prom, and then complete the puzzle with him. It’s original and cute, but don’t make it too challenging or time-consuming, because – who knows? — someone else might ask in the time it takes them to finish your extremely long puzzle.
3. Team invite
Do you have enough friends to have hold up multiple signs? Then you have a way to prom-pose! Getting your friends to hold up signs, each one with a word or two of the “Firstname Lastname, will you go to Prom with me?” is a cute way to demonstrate that you’re open about liking the person and that your friends approve.
2. Driveway drawings
All you need is some chalk and the ability to sneak over to their house for a completely innocent reason. At some point after they go to bed and before they wake up, write out “Prom?” and your name in brightly colored chalk on their front driveway. When they go outside in the morning, they’ll have something cute and unexpected to look at and ponder over.
1. Prom cookies
If your prospective date doesn’t like cookies, what are you doing trying to take them out anyways? Bake a donut-shaped cookie with the big question on it along with smaller circular cookies that will fit in the donut hole with available answers on them – they can select the answer-cookie and then eat them with you. It’s a win-win situation, unless they say “no,” in which case you can eat all the “yes” cookies, so it’s really still a win-win situation.

Senior student director Mia Morneault says how much she’s enjoyed working with the cast and crew. “I am very proud of all the cast and crew who worked as hard on it as I have. A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

Yearbook won 43, newspaper won 14 and broadcast took home nine. “I think [the ILPC awards] are a great way to give the kids some acknowledgement for all of their hard work,” newspaper and yearbook adviser Paige Hert said. “They typically spend the year covering everyone else’s big moments, so it’s really cool for them to be celebrated so many times and in so many different ways.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edited-ILPC.jpg)

The varsity baseball team played in the bi-district round of playoffs against the Boerne Greyhounds April 30-May 2, where they won Game 1 6-4, lost Game 2 2-1 and won the last game 5-2, allowing them to advance to area. “Honestly, [my favorite] big moment that wasn't even part of my moment was Dom's grand slam,” Cuevas said. “That was a big game changer in Game 1 of round one that ultimately helped us win that game and even move on. It set the tone for the games after and has really impacted and sparked this whole playoff run.” Photo by Allie Tseng](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/allie-boerne00159-1200x800.jpg)

Hill rushed for three touchdowns in the 43-36 loss against Frisco Wakeland last Friday, but the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention. “[I’m] just happy I got to experience the game with my brothers,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember how close and how enjoyable everything was with these guys. They are my brothers for life. Just waking up and grinding together, and proving the naysayers wrong [was my favorite part].”
