On Friday, January 13, Elizabeth Forward 8th graders celebrated their last year of middle school with an annual snowball dance in honor of going to high school next year.

Elizabeth Forward 8th graders pose as a middle school class at their snowball dance.

The dance was held at the Sunset Room, located in Elizabeth Township, which has a reputation for high-standard, high-quality, classy events such as weddings, formals, and other special occasions.

The Sunset Room opened its doors to 92 guests, which included students and chaperones as well as middle school staff. Guests enjoyed a buffet of salad, pasta, breaded chicken, mashed potatoes, and roast beef with a gold and silver cake dedicated to the students’ final year of middle school.

After the students enjoyed the buffet, they were able to commemorate the moment with professional pictures with a snowy backdrop that will be distributed once developed and delivered to the school. DJ Brendon kept the kids dancing until 10 p.m.

At the end of the night, despite rules and regulations enforced by the PTSA, the students seemed to have had a wonderful time dancing the night away and enjoying the time spent with friends. While this may be one of the last memories they have of 8th grade, future memories are to come to them in their years as high schoolers.

Congratulations to all of Elizabeth Forward’s 8th grade students in all of their accomplishments, and best of luck in high school!
