First Outdoor Back to School Dance!

Leading up to the start of school, Ethan Hiscott (School Dance Committee Prefect) and I were considering the fact that there might not be School dances for a while and were pretty down about it – but, fortunately, that was not the case! Once back at School, we were told that we had permission to go ahead with school dances. Not only did we host an outdoor dance, but it was the first outdoor dance that King’s-Edgehill would be having, so we wanted to make it amazing! 

We tried to make the dance as fun and normal as possible. Unfortunately, no day students could join in order to keep it safer for the boarding students. Everybody wore their masks and we had a successful, safe, fun dance! The theme was “glow in the dark”.  The School Dance Committee hung lots of lights in the trees, gave out glow sticks, supplied glow-in-the-dark paint, and everyone wore neon colors. All that could be seen was a bunch of glowing teens dancing around. From what I was told, the teachers who chaperoned also liked it very much. 

I had no clue if we would have been able to even have a dance in the first place and in the end, the School Dance Committee couldn’t have been happier with the results! It made me so happy dancing with all my friends and seeing everybody having a good time. I look forward to possibly having more outdoor dances in the future, and I am so excited to see what ideas we will come up with for the next dance!

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us; especially to those who volunteered to help set up the dance and then help take all the decorations down after it was over.  A very big thank you to Mr. Smith, Ms. Schafer, and Ms. Cummings who went above and beyond to make this happen, and for all the teachers who chaperoned the evening making sure everything ran smoothly and safely. The School Dance Committee couldn’t have done it without you.
