I too wonder why a school is having a prom for grade 6. But in my dim past I seem to recall a dance or two, nothing formal, although maybe it was grade 7 or 8. I was oblivious to boys when I was in grade 6.
You don't need a 'girlfriend before September.' For one thing, that's next school year, so why in the world do you even say this? You have YEARS to get to know girls in groups before you try all the complications of dating just one (look around - how many last long? It can be painful to break up.)
To get a date for just the prom, you ask. If you are afraid of being turned down, ask friends what they know about a certain girl's need for a date and what her interest might be in you. In the teens and pre-teens, 'dating' is often something approached in groups or through round about ways involving other friends helping. Much better that way.
