This exciting new dance is happening this Friday, February 26th. All the proceeds will be going to Doernbecher Children's Hospital. Students who attend the Girls’ Basketball Play-In game in Lake Oswego, will get into the dance for free if they bring their entry ticket from the game. Secondly, the annual Neon dance is coming up!
