This year over 300 new dresses will be available, free dry cleaning will be offered and students can even enter a raffle for hair and make-up sessions with local beauty salons. There are limited quantities so students are urged to arrive early. For more information, contact Lan Thao Nguyen at LanThao.Nguyen@sanjoseca.gov or (408) 535-4959 or view the flyer.
