Local photographer Laura Ink will be raising funds to support private creative arts based school, School One, in Providence RI.

It's never too early to start planning for the big night! And on Saturday, January 4, 2014, shop for a great cause when over 35 girls from around Rhode Island schools along with several sponsors, fashion boutiques, and small businesses from all around the state will contribute to the 3rd Annual Prom Expo Fashion Show to help raise funds to provide underprivileged children with a supportive and balanced education from School One.

The Prom Expo Fashion Show, produced by Laura Ink Photography of East Greenwich, has reached out to a different organization each year that not only hits home but also collaborates with the theme each year. This year, it promises to be a fashion show like no other with a “rock concert” theme. Students from School One will personally contribute to the show by performing the introduction, displaying their works of art, and designing clothing to be worn in the show. It's a win-win; support RI's students and show up to prom looking like a rock star!

School One

School One celebrates its 40 year in the educational system of Rhode Island this coming year. With nearly a third of School its annual operating budget designated to need-based financial aid that assists 70% of the student body, the school dedicates themselves to fundraising year round. A dynamic inviting community, School One empowers its diverse students to take responsibility for their learning through challenging, creative, and personalized educational programs in order to prepare them for productive futures. Students will become self-reliant, commit to important ideas, make sense of their world, and contribute to it in useful ways. Students are from all socio-economic backgrounds, and from urban, suburban, and rural environments throughout Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.
