BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE PTO!

A magical night in Paris!

It was a perfect night under the Parisian stars for our Girls Dance - and these beautiful ladies and their dads were ready to twirl, giggle and make wonderful memories together! (Yes, we saw the dads twirling too!)

Merci Beaucoup to our incredible dance committee for creating this special night for our girls and their loved ones!

Check out the photos from the Photo Booth - and stay tuned for a link to pics from our volunteers (Flickr is down right now with AWS outage - link will be in Wednesday's email and on social media as soon as it's back up!)
