After much deliberation and intensive thought, Student Council has now mandated that every student buys a ticket and attends the Homecoming dance in fall of 2016 in order to revive a sinking school spirit and to recuperate funds that were lost in the LionFest dilemma.

“The school basically told us that unless we got the money together that was lost this past February, Student Council would be evicted from the SC study hall,” Student Activities director and head of Student Council Pedro Breddis said.

After the disappointing numbers of Homecoming and the cancellation of LionFest, the group saw no better way to gather the $6,000 needed than to require that everyone attends the upcoming Homecoming. By racking in approximately $60,000 for this dance, Student Council is able to kill two birds with one stone by bringing in exciting guests and fun features to the stage to restore dying hype surrounding school dances.

Rumored guests such as Pitbull, Celine Dion and Meghan Trainor are all candidates to guest star the dance. They may be there to accompany the improved balloon drop, now featuring water balloons, fire extinguisher and cool down yoga sessions in the tri-fit labs. All of this can be tweeted about using the hashtag #LTHoco2k16.

“Honestly, bringing all 4,000 of the kids to the dance this year should get them all very excited about next year’s event,” Principal Dr. Bryant Watermelon said.

For students who believe they may qualify for financial aid to pay for their dance ticket, an application form may be filled out through Free Application for Lion Dance Aid (FALDA). Applications are required to be turned into the PE Office at NC or SC by 8:00 a.m. on April 21, 2016 so that the group can get an idea of how much they can spend in ‘dance goodies.’

“I can’t wait to say that I cant wait to see the turnout and then actually see the turnout,” Breddis said.
