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. 42 SOUTH FAYETTE
