8th Grade Dance Scheduled for May 31
The Farquhar School & PTA are pleased to announce the Annual 8th Grade Dance Celebration. A letter from Principal Murphy will be sent out with the guidelines for the dance and each 8th grade student will receive an individual invitation to the dance in May.
The theme for each year’s dance coincides with the After-Prom theme from Sherwood High School, who donates its decorations to us. This year’s theme is “Hawaiian Luau” and we look forward to seeing what this looks like.
There is no cost for students to attend the dance and complimentary refreshments are provided (light snacks, dessert & drinks will be served). Students are asked to be in nice “party” or “Sunday best” clothing.
Help make this Farquhar tradition a success for our 8th grade students and volunteer. Help is neededin any of the following areas:
Sunday, May 18th, Sherwood After Prom Decoration Removal at Longwood Community Center, Georgia Avenue, Olney 5:00 am. We need volunteers to help take the decorations down from the After Prom Party and help store them for the Farquhar 8th Grade dance.
Friday, May 30th, 8th Grade Dance Decorating, Farquhar Halls & Gymnasium, 5:00 pm. to finish. Volunteers are needed to help decorate and set-up tables, etc. for the dance. Dance decorations completely cover the walls of both the gym and front hallway. Tables and chairs are set-up in the gym and along the front hall.
Saturday, May 31st, 8th Grade Dance Decorating, Farquhar Gymnasium, 5:00 pm. to finish
Volunteers are needed for last minute decorating and set up prior to the dance.
Saturday, May 31st, 7:00 – 9:30pm Chaperones Needed. It has been the tradition for Sixth and Seventh Grade Parents to chaperone this event as the 8th grade students would prefer not to have their own parents chaperone their last soiree in middle school.
Clean-up Crew “Many hands make light work!” If we get several parents to “pitch in”, clean-up should be an hour or less. Please consider helping out.
If you can help , please contact Debbie Kivitz or Marie Kozlowski, this year’s co-chairs:
