On Friday September 15, Logan held its first dance to kick off the school year.

The welcome back dance started with the activity director, Preet Samara, organizing everything accordingly. Her goal was to let incoming freshman or new students get to know the school and their peers better.

When interviewing Preet, this is what she had to say regarding the back-to-school dance, “We wanted freshman to feel welcomed, as well as starting the school year off with a bang.” She also talked about how they didn’t have much time to plan the dance and was very hectic. About 250 people attended and she felt that it went a lot better than expected.

However, not everyone was enthusiastic about the dance.

When asked about why he didn’t go to the dance Andrew Torres, a senior, said, “I felt like it would have been boring because we have a big freshman class and I felt like the freshmen would have just taken over the dance.”

Another 12th grader, Kiana Gibson, said, “Not a lot of my friends were going and […] I’m not really in a dancing mood in the beginning of the year because I’m getting all my stuff together so I feel like I don’t have time to go” when asked why she didn’t go to the dance.

On the other hand, there were people who had motivations to go to the dance.

Navjot Kaur, a senior, said, “I went to the dance because as a senior, I want to go to all the events at Logan.”

Besides the dancing and the music, the dance also included games such as 4 square and ring toss. There were also refreshments such as chicken beef tacos and horchata.

 

The dance ended at 10 pm.
