South Fayette PTA 6th Annual
Sweetheart Dance
T
he South Fayette PTA held their sixth annual
Sweetheart Dance on Saturday, February 1, 2020, at
the Intermediate School. Each year, the event is highly
attended and that tradition continued once again!
Nearly 500 girls in grades K-5 registered and attended along
with their special someone (totaling over 900 attendees). The
dance’s theme was “Hooray for Hollywood.” The girls walked
the red carpet and were greeted by our PTA “paparazzi” as they
entered into the dance. An addition to this year’s dance was the
South Fayette Walk of Fame where girls could find the “Hollywood
star” of their teacher which featured a glamorous headshot
photograph and accompanying autograph. The girls and their
dates enjoyed music provided by DJ Adam Miller, snacks, the
chance to win an SFPTA Cubs Corner door prize, and nearly 50
themed raffle baskets (many of which were donated by local
businesses and South Fayette residents). The event featured a
fifth grade “Stars of Inspiration” VIP room where gold stars were
displayed with the names of all fifth grade students in attendance.
Teachers, staff, friends, and their dates were encouraged to write
messages of positivity and inspiration in each of the stars. The
fifth grade girls were given their star as a special parting favor in
recognition of their last Sweetheart Dance before transitioning
to the middle school. The night was completed with confetti
cannons and favors provided by My Favorite Sweet Shoppe.
