On the evening of May 20th, Kim Lien High School's grounds buzzed with excitement for the farewell prom for 12th-grade students – "Prom Night K50: Crystal Twilight". This was a special gift dedicated to nearly 700 12th-grade students before they embark on their high school graduation exams. Parents and teachers from the school also attended the event.

In stark contrast to their usual school uniforms, the students transformed into princesses and princes at the event. The female students appeared in elaborate evening gowns that accentuated their youthful charm and radiant smiles.

In the program, powerful vocalists from the 12th grade K50 class, along with the student art club, brought vibrant melodies and dances, creating a musical atmosphere full of youthful energy.

The program also featured many poignant and touching moments as it reflected on the journey of over 1,000 days of learning and training, with lessons, exams, and shared memories of growing up and learning to dream under the roof of high school. The students' expressions of gratitude to their teachers, the sharing of impressions, and the hugs from teachers to students moved many to tears.

In particular, teachers and parents shared many heartfelt sentiments about wisdom, courage, gratitude, kindness, dedication, and dreams with the students preparing to leave high school. "Kim Lien is always home" and "Kim Lien will forever be loved" were repeatedly chanted throughout the program.

Principal Nguyen Thi Hien of Kim Lien High School shared her thoughts at the program.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien, Principal of Kim Lien High School, said that the graduation prom is an annual program for the 12th graders of Kim Lien High School, organized by parents at the request of the students.

Most of the ideas, scripts, and performances were created and produced by the students themselves. The program included various activities such as interaction, photo sessions, video screenings, and artistic performances by students and artists.

According to Ms. Hien, the program is not just a farewell party, but also an opportunity for students to showcase their talents, share and cherish beautiful memories before the end of their three years of high school; a chance to temporarily forget the pressures of studying and upcoming exams and have fun with their friends.
