Sparta High School's First-Ever Valentine's Day Dance

Written by: Noelle Hanek

On Friday, Feb. 15, Sparta High School hosted the first-ever Valentine’s Day themed dance open to freshmen and sophomores. The dance lasted roughly from 7-10 p.m. in the annex gym. A variety of party music was played by a DJ and a photo stand was available to take pictures with friends to remember the night.  

Nearly halfway through the dance, the freshmen and sophomores split into two groups and competed on the dance floor. The DJ started up a song and students on each side would move into the middle and challenge each other. The results of the dance battle were unclear, yet students from the two grades were able to show off their extreme moves. Later on, students took a break from dancing and played an intense round of musical chairs. Starting with a large number of participants, more and more people were eliminated from the game as they rushed to take a seat each time the DJ stopped the music. Once musical chairs finally came to an end, the final three participants of the long-lasting game received a Panera Bread gift card.

For the remainder of the night, the freshmen and sophomores continued to dance and sing to the music. While attendance was low and there were a few complications with the music at the start, it was an exciting experience. The dance was a great way to be with friends and to overall have a good time. This dance was organized by the student council, and it would not have been possible without them. The ticket money raised for this dance will be used for future school events.
