Rim Communities For Youth Coalition is partnering with Rim of the World Recreation and Park District to present the Let’s Glow Totally 80’s middle school dance for students in grades six, seven and eight.
This totally tubular – and free – event will take place on Friday, Feb. 23, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Hootman Center.
The second annual middle school dance is a chance for students to make friends and get down to good music in a safe environment. The event will feature a live DJ playing tunes from the 80’s and today, as well as activities and free refreshments. Attendees are encouraged to wear their best 80’s or neon garb to get in the spirit.
Jesse Rogers, the Rim Family Services prevention program director, remembers when there wasn’t an outlet for middle-school aged students. “Growing up here, I remember the challenge of having fun things for youth to do. The dance is a fun alternative event for the students to take part in, other than drugs and alcohol,” she stated. The dance is an effort to give students a healthy environment to connect.
Any middle school-aged student, whether enrolled in Rim of the World Unified School District or homeschooled, is welcome to attend. The event is chaperoned by agency personnel and screened volunteers. There is no charge for the event, the activities or the refreshments.
In an effort to eliminate alcohol and substance abuse by our youth, the mission of Rim Communities For Youth Coalition is to promote positive life choices within the Rim Communities.
The park district gym is located at 2929 Running Springs School Road, Running Springs. For more information about the Feb. 23 dance or about the Rim Communities For Youth Coalition,
