Student Council has planned for the dance to have a carnival theme.
“The carnival theme seems really unique,” said senior Bridget Conlon. “It is really different from our past themes and other school’s themes.”
For those who don’t want to be on the dance floor all night, Student Council advisor Mr. Fortino shared that there will be carnival games with prizes for the students to win while at the dance.
You also want to get ready for the best food you will ever have at a homecoming dance. The menu for the dance will also consist of carnival-inspired foods.
“There’s an outside vendor that is doing basic carnival foods like french fries, chicken tenders, and funnel cake,” said Fortino.
