Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey has awarded Braintree “Project Prom Sense” and “Operation Graduation” grants of $250 each again this year, funding food and supplies for the pre-prom event organized to keep high-schoolers safe on the night of the dance and BHS’ substance-free graduation party. “We know that providing prom-goers and new graduates with alcohol- and drug-free alternatives cuts into the pressure to drink on those nights, and increases the odds they will avoid taking chances on the road or elsewhere later on,” District Attorney Morrissey said. “I am pleased to support Braintree’s commitment to making this a safe prom and graduation season again this year.” Morrissey also awarded Braintree two $250 grants for the …
