Love was in the air at Springville Junior High with our Valentine’s dance on February 19, 2009 from seven-nine. Music, friends, fun, boys, girls, and laughter abounded. Teachers and students a like boogied the night away.
If you’re looking for a good time then the dance is the place for you. We asked Elizabeth White, your average, everyday eighth grade student at SJHS and she said, “Yes I think they’re very fun!”
As you can tell, the students enjoy them, but what are the teacher’s perspectives? Mr. David Knudsen, vice principal at Springville Junior said, “I like the dances because it helps students learn to handle a social situation that they will have to deal with in high school and beyond.”
Parents, if you’re worried about the music that they play, do not stress about what goes into your children’s ears. The school has to follow and maintain the rules about the content of the music that is allowed such as the music may not swear, talk about drugs, alcohol etc. The teachers in school supervise the dances and the dancing, and parents are welcome to come and chaperone the dances and maybe even have a good time with your child.
If students are bored and looking for a good time, come to a dance and shake the night away.
