Tickets go on sale outside the main office the week of October 5. The theme vote closes Friday in homeroom.

The dance moves from the gym to the courtyard this year, weather permitting, while the gym floor is refinished. “We asked for the courtyard, and we got it,” said student council secretary Ana Ruiz.
