PIP, PreK, and Kindergarten hosted a valentine dance to bring families together to celebrate the upcoming holiday. Over 80 people enjoyed themed & free dances and a light meal with several pink treats. Twinkle lights, a disco ball, and balloons helped set the festive mood.
The games of "Wrapped in Love", "Valentine Unicorn", "Heart Stack", "Cupid's Arrow", and "Heart Walk" were played throughout the evening, and door prizes were awarded to the winners. After dancing to their hearts' content, we are pretty sure everyone slept well that night!
