Sadie Hawkins Dance

Tonight about 100 of our students attended a Sadie Hawkins Dance put on by the FFA and the FCCLA. It has been a while since we have had a dance other than Prom and Homecoming. The smaller crowd and casual atmosphere made for a good time. From seniors to freshmen, a wide variety of students attended. Afterwards, as the students were leaving, many remarked that they thought it was going to be "lame," but in fact they "had a really good time." Most preferred the smaller crowds. I was a bit surprised to see a large group of kids doing the "Thriller." Michael Jackson put that song out when I was in High School :( The FFA, FCCLA and numerous random students all stayed to help clean-up afterwards. Mr. Brown, Mr. Butler, and Mrs. Slager sponsored and supervised the event. These type events are great for me, because I get an opportunity to talk with students outside of the educational setting. Athens High School has really great kids and tonight was just another example of why I enjoy this job and these kids.
