The PBL Junior High Commons is set to transform into a neon celebration for the upcoming 8th Grade Dance: "Glow Big or Glow Home." Sponsored by the parents of the Class of 2030, this year’s event will take place on Saturday, May 9th, from 7:00pm to 9:30pm.
The dance is exclusively for PBL Junior High School students, and students are not permitted to bring guests from other schools. Admission for 6th and 7th graders is $5, while 8th graders will receive formal invitations for free entry as they celebrate the conclusion of their junior high years. To maintain a fun and age-appropriate atmosphere, the school requests that families avoid "prom-style" arrangements such as limousines or early dismissals for preparation. The standard school dress code remains in effect; dresses should have straps, and all attire should be school-appropriate.
Get Involved Tonight
Parents interested in supporting the festivities are invited to a planning meeting tonight, Wednesday, April 8th, at 6:00pm in the Commons Area. The committee is currently seeking volunteers to help supervise the event and is accepting donations to ensure the night's success.
