MLHS’ Haydn to Hip Hop class sponsors Father/Daughter Dance
The Haydn-to-Hip-Hop class at Mountain Lake Public High School (MLHS) sponsored its first annual Father/Daughter Dance this evening (Saturday, February 11), in the public school’s exclusively-decorated old gym. Attending the fête were a combined total of 125 young girls and their fathers (or father figures – grandfathers, uncles, older brothers).
The formal dress-up occasion included a special meal, Grand March, dance and formal photograph of father and daughter.
Following is a photo gallery from the night:

The main entree was courtesy of the public school’s Taher Food Service staff, Food Service Director Tammy Wolle, along with Heidi Bergling. The cupcakes were baked, frosted and decorated by Haydn to Hip Hop students Kassandra “Kat” Tellez and Merel Caminada.

THE OLD GYM was transformed into the perfect setting to create a night to remember for daughters and their dads. First, the dinner, then the dance.
