The Geranium Ball, one of Staten Island Academy’s most beloved traditions, harkens back to the days of a cotillion when young adults were “presented” to society.
Approximately 31 Seniors, their guests and families, traveled from pre-prom festivities, to the country club, guided by a double rainbow. This year’s prom had a pink pastel and gold theme.
