All around, there are little girls excitedly dancing to ‘Golden’ from the movie ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’. Dads are seen standing around while their daughters get their faces painted, and there were so many heart-warming moments between fathers and all the young girls. This all added up to another successful annual daughter dance held on Jan. 30.
“We started this tradition because [The Arrowhead] needed money. We were to a point where we could not afford to print,” said Arrowhead adviser Mrs. Sandra Trick.
The raised money goes toward not only the operation of the Arrowhead, but also funds the printing of the colored Senior Issue handed out at graduation.
“I thought it was really fun helping out with face painting the kids,” said Freshman Holly Mowrey, “They’re really crazy, but also super cute and fun to work with.”
The daughter dance raised a total of $2,061.
“I loved [the dance],” stated Trick’s daughter Emma. “My favorite part was probably dancing.”
Usually the dance is held during the spring at the elementary school, but this year it was changed to a winter dance at the high school.
“I would’ve loved to attend the dance at the high school instead of the elementary school when I was younger,” Mowrey described.
Trick said the school administration is highly supportive of the dance and willingly approves the facility requests every year.
“Everything went smoothly, the only complaint was the lighting.,” Mowrey said. “We could’ve definitely benefited from more lights. If we had something like a disco ball I feel like [the atmosphere] would’ve looked better.”
