October 14th was first school dance and was held at theNAMS gymnasium from 6pm-8pm. Admission was $3 and you had to bring your student ID. I interviewed students in student council and asked them some questions before the dance.
Q: What is the music setup?
A: We will have a DJ set up to take student requests
Q: Why did you choose this setup?
A: We’ve been doing this for 3 years and the students love it!
Q: What’s the theme of the dance?
A: The theme is “The First Dance” – we want to get them excited for the first dance of the school year.
Q: Will there be any more dances
A: Yes we’ll have a semi-formal in January and a dance at the end of the year.
The night of the dance the gym was decorated with orange lights and Halloween decorations. Everyone was rocking out in the gym, buying refreshments from the concession stand, or lounging in the cafeteria. Even though many people left early for the game, there were still plenty of people at the dance. Before the dance came to an end, there was a contest. The best female and male dancer would win an iTunes gift card. The two winners were Joey Suhr and Bailey Carpenter who are both 7th grade students on the Storm Team. The student council said it was a big success and raised more money than they spent!
During that night I took a poll on how good the dance was. I asked 10 random 7th and 8th graders if the dance was great, okay, or boring. The result was:
Great: 50% (5 people)
Okay: 40% (4 people)
Boring: 10% (1 person)
The first school dance was a big hit! I wonder what student council has in store for the next dance!
Joseph Suhr Was an amazing Dancer.
