Shot Glasses Given As Favors At Prom
BOICEVILLE, N.Y. (AP) ―
Officials in a town in New York's Catskill Mountains are frowning on the party favors given to students at a recent high school prom -- shot glasses.
Onteora School District Superintendent Leslie Ford told the Daily Freeman for a story Saturday that she has revised school policies to make sure no such favors are given again.
The glasses, typically used for liquor, were given out to all the teens who attended the district's recent senior prom.
Ford says that "isn't the message we want to send to our children."
Ulster County District Attorney Holley Carnright calls the favors "an insult" to families of those involved in drunken-driving accidents.
The school district is based in Boiceville, about 115 miles north of Manhattan.
