Rachael gives students Senior Prom after tornado disaster.
Celebrity chef, Rachael Ray, wanted to make sure that the students who lost their eight classmates and school, as rhe result of a deadly tornado, got a senior prom.
Ray designed and planned the menu and took part in preparing dinner at Enterprise High School's prom, according to a statement Thursday from publicist Georgianna Dente. Ray, the star of her own Food Network show, Rachael Ray, paid for the dance, which was also shot for an episode and set to air on April 30.
"When I heard about what happened to their school and classmates, we wanted to help," Ray, 38, said in the statement. "The prom was all about celebrating their accomplishments and honoring the classmates who tragically lost their lives," Rachael added.
The theme of the prom, which was held at Fort Rucker, was "Caught in a Moment," while photographs of seniors Jamie Vidensek and Michael Tompkins, two of the students killed, lined the dance floor.
Mandy Moore also made the night a bit more memorable to remember, when she made an appearance and went on to perform three songs at the end of the prom.
“The governor signed a bill Thursday that appropriates $32 million to rebuild Hillcrest Elementary School and Enterprise High School. The schools were damaged in the tornado March 1. Classes resumed March 14 at a community college.”
