DISCO DANCE!
The Disco Dance is the first Friday of school, Sept 3rd, 9:00 pm to Midnight.
Tickets will be sold Tuesday, Aug 31 (both lunches), Wednesday, Sept 1 (after school), and Thursday (both lunches and after school). No sales on Friday. Tickets are $5 w/o ASB and $4 with ASB. Completed Guest Passes due Wednesday, Sept 1 by 3:15 - no exceptions!. Guest Pass forms are available in the office. This pass is used to buy a ticket to the dance for the guest. Guest passes are not transferrable, and must be filled out for each dance, even if it is for the same guest. This process is to provide security for our dances, and assures we can identify everyone who attends the dance.
