hi everyone, I somehow have managed to get myself volunteered to decorate for the 50's dance in october. Anyone got any great ideas? :> ) Thanks, maggie

Here's a cute decorating idea our school has used for the past couple of years. First, ask a local pizza parlor to donate the cardboard pizza rounds they use deliver pizzas on. Next, cover the rounds with aluminum foil, add a colored or black construction paper circle in the center and a small sequin for the record punch. This replicates a record which reflects lots of light . You can also add dangling musical notes, etc. If you place them on the walls, it makes the gym kind of "sparkly". We also give each child a neon glow-in-the dark necklace (the glow stick kind). This is kind of cool too since some kids wear them on their necks, heads or arms and they glow while they are dancing around. Good luck!
