With Harrold’s first dance under its belt many have had the time to think over what was liked and disliked. It has become quite clear that there are mixed reviews about Harrold’s attempt at a 9th grade dance.

 One student, Arianna Betton, said, “It wasn’t fun. Give more activities.” Arianna isn’t the only one who thinks this. Many wish for more activities for ninth grade students. 

Contrarily, others think that there should be less games at dances, and that they should mimic a traditional high school dance like a semi-formal. 

Kailee Swink expressed her opinion by stating, “It was fun. All my friends were there. S’mores were good. The activities were fun. I liked the music. I wouldn’t change anything. There are good opportunities to hang with friends, even if I would rather it be formal”. 

Overall, it seems that the mixed views have been purely based on personal preference. Where many see pitfalls, others see perfection. And with criticism, comes improvement. When it comes down to it, we are simply excited for Harrold’s next dance.
