What happens at a middle school dance?

Does anyone know if Longfellow has dances?

Do all the middle schools?

The SCA at cooper put on our dance and it was wildly successful. Tons of chaperones (parents and staff) and it was a great night for the kids. I think if dance is student-driven like ours was (they had all the students vote on the theme, and they picked Hollywood), then the kids get much more excited and invested and it’s a well attended event.
I would suggest going to your next PTO meeting at the school and find out if the SCA has considered having a dance, and if they haven’t, you should suggest it! There is a budget for these things, and if the money is not used, it just goes towards some other worthless fundraising event at the school. Dances are so memorable and makes middle school and much more special time of life. I remember my middle school dances in FCPS and those was 30 years ago!

Seriously?! That’s kind of sad.

You’re sad. And pathetic.
Having good memories of middle school is a blessing. My 75 year old mother has fond memories of her “junior high” Friday night dances as well.

Twerking, unfortunately. My kid went to MS dance a few weeks ago and said a girl was twerking while other kids recorded it . I hate that all the stupid decisions kids make these days likely get captured on camera.

It's more sad to not remember! It's not like the pp said they were the Best. Nights. Of. My. Life Ever., just that they were memorable.

Lots of girls - occasionally a boy or two - dance wildly in a group and sing. Eat snacks. Drink soda. Run around taking silly photos and videos. My son who never stays for the entirety of any event actually stayed and hung out with a couple friends the whole time.

Doesn't sound much different than my MS dances.

+1
I got the same report from my 12 yo.

I would much rather see a middle school PTA put on a movie night or a Bingo night in which all kids can participate comfortably rather than a silly dance.

Bored today?

The descriptions of most boys just hanging out is really funny because it tracks with my son's experience, my experience, and my dad's experience circa 1960.

Imagine calling someone's nice childhood memory sad. God, you people are miserable.
