It's hard to believe that Abi is almost finished with Keystone Heights Elementary School. The 6th grade dance has been a tradition ever since I was a student there. However, like everything else it has become bigger and better. The day before the dance, I took Abi, Anna, Jordan, and Riley to get their fingernails painted. Abi chose a french manicure. The day of, Abi had a hair appointment for her first official up-do. 
Dressed and ready - she cleans up really nice!
She ended up wearing the jacket all evening.... 
Jordan all dolled up......
Love those hair dos!
Jordan with her mom, Jennifer....
Anna, Abi, and Jordan have been inseparable this year. They have many of their classes together and are with each other 3 days a week for gymnastics. 
Anna with her mom, Dawn....
Riley has been a friend of Abi's since kindergarten..... 
Great friends......
The theme for the dance is always kept secret until the students walk into the cafeteria. This year the theme was "Deep Blue Destiny." Many parents worked countless hours organizing and planning to make this event a success. This is a waterfall with coral that was put in one corner of the room. 
The sunken ship was a great focal point when the students walked into the room.
The DJ was on the stage, which was decorated with more underwater plants, netting, anchor, and a treasure chest.
In the back of the cafeteria, we set up the food and drink tables. The punch fountain was a huge hit. 
Before we let the students in, I got a picture of all the 6th grade teachers. They have been wonderful this year.
The doors opened at 7:30. Here is the gathering of people outside about 10 minutes before the beginning of the dance. 
Let the fun begin....Marissa, Delaney, Anna, Abi, and Riley entering the foyer!
Lianna and Maura - their faces say it all!
Dressed and ready - she cleans up really nice!

Brody, Nolan, and a friend hanging out together.......
The dancing begins......
This group of girls stick together. Rachel, Anna, Riley, Marissa, Delaney, Maura, Autumn, Lianna, MaKenna, Abi, and Jordan.
Riley, Rachel, Maura, and MaKenna....
Their social studies teacher, Mrs. Carter, dressed up as a mermaid and sang a song from the movie, "The Little Mermaid." She has a beautiful voice and the kids were mesmerized by her performance. 
Abi and Jordan.....
Dawn, Jennifer, and other parents got out on the dance floor for YMCA.....
The girls loved this song as well.....
"You make me want to shout....throw your hands up....Shout!"
The event was a lot of work, but well worth it to see the smiles on all of the kids faces. They had such a great time. It will be a memory that lasts forever.
