GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - Gridley High School is excited to announce the upcoming Winter Snowball, a formal dance that promises to be one of the highlight events of the school year.

Saturday, Feb. 7, will be an action-packed day for Gridley High School. Earlier that same day, the wrestling team will compete in the Westside Finals, giving students and families the opportunity to cheer on their athletes before heading to the evening’s dance from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. in the school gymnasium.

The Winter Snowball is particularly special for freshmen and sophomores, as it gives them their first taste of a prom-like formal dance experience. It is a chance for underclassmen to dress up, take photos and create lasting memories with their friends before they reach their junior and senior proms.

Not only that, but it is also extremely sentimental to the seniors, as this will be their second-to-last dance before they graduate. The dance will be a formal affair, and students are encouraged to dress accordingly.

Long, elegant dresses are expected to grace the dance floor, and attendees should plan their attire to match the sophistication of the evening. This is the perfect occasion for students to showcase their style and enjoy an evening of elegance.

Ticket information is as follows: Single tickets are available for $20 for students with an ASB card and $25 for those without. For students planning to attend with a date, couples tickets offer great value at $40 with ASB cards and $50 without. To make the purchasing process more convenient, tickets can be purchased online through GoFan.co, allowing students to secure their entry in advance and skip the line in the hallway at school and at the door on the night of the event.

The Winter Snowball represents more than just a dance. It is an opportunity for Gridley High School students to step away from their academic routines and enjoy a special evening with their peers. Whether students attend with a date or a group of friends, the event promises music, dancing and memories that will last well beyond high school.

Looking ahead to other February events, leadership students will begin selling roses and kisses on Monday, Feb. 2, in celebration of Valentine’s Month. This annual tradition is a beloved way for students to show appreciation for friends and classmates.

Additionally, leadership class speeches are scheduled for Feb. 25 through Feb. 27, giving students the opportunity to share their vision for the school.
