Just like the year before, this also meant another dance to plan away!
Peer Leadership hosts the annual event for a night of food, music, and fun,
And the proceeds always go to a very good cause (once we all agree on one).
This year we chose to raise money for a Ugandan village's school,
But a problem quickly arose: how could we make this dance seem "cool"?
School events just haven't had the pull they have had in previous years;
We wanted this dance to happen, though, so we all put it into full gear.
From the very beginning we did not have the best feedback;
It was clear that many kids' interest in school dances do lack.
Instead of trying to force reluctant students against their will to agree to attend,
We focused on making the dance awesome for those on whose presence we could depend.
We had one other major problem, however; how could I forget?
Our DJ could not come. Boy, did that make us all sweat!
Decorations were finished and the food was ready to go,
But how to solve the music situation, we still did not know.
Just hours before the dance, Jackie, Kaysee, and I created
A playlist for the evening; with our work we were elated.
Selling tickets at the door turned out to be a wise decision,
And a great time was had by all who came, more than we had envisioned.
