Valentine's Dance 2015 "The Fault In Our Stars"

Have you ever read or seen "The Fault in Our Stars?"  Well, this smash teen movie/book's colors swept over the P.E. Courtyard like a black and blue tidal wave during an extended lunch period on February 12, 2015.  The themed colors sky blue, white, and black were strikingly evident in all the elaborate dance decorations to the uniform dress down with all the students.  We had 45 minutes of fantastic music, an all-star teacher dunking booth, basketball hoops for charity, a Valentine King and Queen of the Dance voting booth, a TFIOS balloon maker, a TFIOS archery game, Valentine's Store, a TFIOS Photo Wall (where students could use their smart phones for free and unlimited pics!), a bouncy house, and it was also the kick-off of the annual Amazing Penny Race (spirit point competition and fundraiser for the Hawaii Make-A-Wish Foundation)!  And don't forget about the real reason why everyone was there -- the GIANT TFIOS Valentine's Dance Canopy hosted by our very own DJ Mica!   At the teacher dunking booth, you got three chances for a dollar, to dunk a teacher as a fundraiser for the 8th Grade Class. The teachers that got dunked were Mr.Mathakul, Mrs.Nakagawa, Mr.Armstrong, Mr.Laskowsky, Mr.Karwiel, Mrs.Rosera, and Mr.Fujii!  As a reward, all students in the vicinity were soaked with volleys of water balloons and water cannons!  From the nominations in HR to the voting at the dance, the 7th grade King and Queen was Kaeo and Jenna! The 8th Grade King and Queen was Micah and Saige.  As it turned out, "The Fault in Our Stars" Valentine's Day Dance was memorable as it was sweet.  Mireya -- Assembly Committee Chairperson
