Decorations for the Los Alamos High School Garden Gala Prom at Buffalo Thunder were purchased with donations from parents and members of the community. A wish list was created on amazon.com and donors were able to order items and have them delivered to LAHS. Staff and students converted the items into these wonderful displays. Courtesy photo

The Garden Gala, Los Alamos High School’s Prom 2022 at Buffalo Thunder Resort was phenomenal and a huge success. Everyone had a great time. We have many people to thank. The community came through in a big way and people were so generous with purchasing items from the wish list. Some community members donated money as well including Kristy Ortega from RE/MAX of Los Alamos who donated $3,000.00. We also had many anonymous donations. Below is a list of people we know that donated. Thank you, Los Alamos Community
