7th Grade


Dear 7th Graders,   

 

Round-Up in May was amazing!  We really enjoyed meeting all our 7th graders. Everyone had a great time during the dance session, meeting their dance partner and getting to know other Elan members. You were a very well behaved group of 7th graders.  Way to go! 

 

We look forward to the upcoming Elan year with great anticipation. Our first 7th grade Dance and Etiquette Session is August 7th. Remember you must attend five (5) dance sessions and one (1) etiquette session to be eligible to be a member in good standing. It is a good idea to try and meet the requirements as soon as possible. Time sneaks up on all of us!

9th Grade 

 

Dear 9th Graders,

 

9th Grade is the best because you have graduated from Dance Sessions. You can attend the dance parties without the added responsibility of the dance sessions.  You are also starting  High School this year. WOW! This year promising to be amazing with Elan Dance Parties and High School combined.

 

Elan has been busy planning your dance parties for the year. We are looking forward to the Back to School Dance on Friday, August 19th from  8:00 - 10:30 pm.   It is so much fun to see your friends after a long summer break and dance the night away.

 

REMEMBER, your school id card is very important this year. You must present your school id for admission to your dances. Remind your friends.
