Thirteen-year-old Emily Jenkins has won a glamorous end of year prom, hosted by last year's Big Brother contestant Vanessa and finalist of the Radio 1 DJ of the year competition, DJ Joey M, at Greenhill School, tonight (Friday), thanks to bliss magazine and the NSPCC. The prom marks the third year of the campaign by bliss magazine to give teens a memorable party to celebrate the end of their school years. The prom aims to give school leavers a chance to celebrate in style whilst raising money for the NSPCC. A Year 8 pupil, Emily, of Begelly, was nominated by her best friend Ruth Collier, also 13, of St. Florence, for supporting her when she was going through a really tough time. Emily will be rewarded for being such a good mate by being taken in a limo to party with all her friends. Emily, who will be crowned as the Prom Queen, said: "I owe a massive thank you to Ruth for nominating me and everyone at bliss and NSPCC. I can't wait to get glammed up and dance the night away!" Mr. Chris Noble, headmaster of Greenhill School, added: "The bliss prom is such a great way to reward our hard-working pupils. We're sure that the prom will be a great success and are looking forward to having a fun time and raising lots of money for the NSPCC." The NSPCC has teamed up with bliss magazine to raise awareness of the charity amongst young people. John Grounds, NSPCC director of communications, said: "Raising awareness about the NPSCC's Full Stop campaign among young people is really important to us. "By teaming up with bliss magazine, we are able to communicate to thousands of teens the message that abuse is wrong and what to do if they, or anyone they know, is being harmed." Lisa Smosarski, editor of bliss magazine, added:" We are thrilled to be in our third year of bliss proms and delighted that we are able to give Emily and her friends at Greenhill School a glamorous night to remember. I hope other schools listen and more teens leave school in style!"
