Jamming to pop music and illuminating with glow sticks and glow-in-the-dark paint, students dance together with their friends at the Winter Dance on Feb. 23. The dance was planned by the Future Black Leaders of America club with the help of other clubs such as Riley Dance Marathon.
“The winter dance was an amazing experience,” said sophomore Cameron White. “It was nice to be able to go to a school dance without having to dress up in a tuxedo. It was a fun time and in my opinion better than any other school dance.”
