🪩GET YOUR TIX - WINTER WHITE OUT DANCE (with Highlighters!) IS ON!🪩
Get ready to dance the NIGHT IN ALL WHITE away on Sat, Feb 1 at our Winter White Out Dance (with Highlighters)! The dress code is optional - all white! You may dress up or down, however if you would like your child to let friends write on their shirts with highlighters, we suggest a white tee or anything you don’t mind looking like their yearbooks!
ARRIVAL TIMES -
K + 1st (2-4pm)
2nd - 5th (3-5pm)
5TH GRADERS - as this is the last elementary dance for the 5th grade, it would be fun for them to have something special! Each 5th grader will have a roll of black paper for them to personalize, decorate and hang as a banner down the hallway to cover the windows (kind of like the highschool kids getting to personalize their own parking space!) SPOT FILLED! Thank you to Jackie Bohli for taking the lead on this special project!
TICKETS - sales are open on the PTO website and will stay open - NO Cash/Venmo sales will be available at the door this year so you will have to purchase all tickets online.
