DANCE OFFERS A BREAK FROM WINTER

BY: KAITLYN MESSICK

Ushering in Valentine's Day, St. Paul Hellenic hosted North Royalton High School’s Winter Formal on February 12. Selling nearly 400 tickets, this event was sure to be a hit, especially since many students prefer Winter Formal over Homecoming. Many students appreciate the change in scenery, as Homecoming is held in the high school gym. In contrast to the party center, the gym was not created for hosting events and is not as versatile.

Tickets to winter Formal were about $40, depending on how early you were able to buy them. The tickets included unlimited fountain drinks and snacks, which ranged from eggrolls to pizza to mini meatballs.

Hope Campbell highly recommends attending, having nothing but praise for the recent dance. She stated, “It was really fun! The food was good and it was just really pretty.”

Additionally, senior Akshita Kannan, who attended Winter Formal for the first time this year, said her favorite part was the music.

“I was honestly impressed with the DJ. The music was really good.”

Regardless of any criticism of the music or event, these dances are a great way to socialize and go out with either your friends or your significant other. They also are a great way to express yourself. For many, the selling point of these events is just having an excuse to get dressed up and spend the night with your friends.
