Dear Mikey,

Around 8 p.m., a party bus with a large Jack Daniels logo pulled up to the home.

Near the end of Equestrian Trail's winding road in Ahwatukee, nearly 80 students along with parents, family and other friends met at fellow senior Kyndall Johnston's home.

Trying to fasten on his bow tie, cummerbund and pocket square, Tre Campbell, of Mountain Pointe High School, got ready in a matter of minutes for his senior prom.

Tucked in the back of Scottsdale steakhouse Roaring Forks, the group mingled in the dim restaurant just minutes away from their prom's location.

A line started forming outside of The Venue in Old Town Scottsdale as Cook, Quian and friends arrived.

That Saturday afternoon in Ahwatukee was pushing a temperature of about 96 degrees as Cook and Quian's group of friends met outside at a nearby lake for group and couple photos.

Desert Vista High School junior Chelsea Cook knows about prom. Though this year was her first to attend, she’s seen both of her older siblings go through the process of getting ready for the big night.

The prom is making a big comeback.

In partnership with the Tempe Union High School District, the East Valley Women’s League offers scholarship opportunities to local high school students nearing graduation.

The Farm at South Mountain, 6106 S. 32nd St. in Phoenix, will be collecting prom dresses on Saturday, March 23, from 5 to 8 p.m. Music, food, entertainment and a raffle with prizes will be available.

Stephanie Ann Kuells went to be with our angels on Wednesday, Feb. 20. She was born on Aug. 3, 1988, to Jennifer and Keith Kuells at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. This happened to be her father’s 30th birthday. What a beautiful gift! Stephanie had many challenges in her short life, but she tackled each one with determination, beauty and grace.
