CBS 21's
Stylish Statement is bigger than ever in 2009!
This year, we're teaming up with high schools across Central Pennsylvania to produce a newscast, movie, and fashion shows leading up to Prom season.
As part of the specially-produced newscast, students fill the roles of our CBS 21 Prom Reporters, telling stories relating to alcohol prevention.
"People need to know, that you shouldn't be drinking and driving," says Felicia Ann Kemble, a
Stylish Statement participant from Williams Valley High School. "You shouldn't be drinking at all, when you're not of age. Especially just because its Prom. It doesn't mean you can do it."
The students also take on roles in the
Stylish Statement movie, which accompanies the newscast, with a realistic storyline.
This year, students on their way to Prom are confronted with various peer pressure scenarios. By the end of the program, the newscast and movie become one, as we learn the consequences of the teenagers' decisions.
This year, our Partner Schools include:
-- Upper Dauphin Area High School
-- Lebanon High School
-- Williams Valley High School
-- Palmyra Area High School
-- Halifax Area High School
-- Lebanon Catholic High School
-- ELCO High School
During the months leading up to Prom season, each of the partner schools will present the program to their own student bodies, during an in-school assembly. The newscast and movie segments are teamed up with a
Stylish Statement Fashion Show, where students from each school model the latest Prom gowns and tuxedo designs for 2009.
