Most of us girls remember our very first daddy-daughter dance.

It is our second grade year, and for (maybe) the first time we get all dressed up for a dance and have the best date of all with the only man we will ever need — our dads.

We get our hair curled, makeup done, and put on our favorite dresses.

When we were younger, the dance was all fun and games.

Us girls ate cookies, danced with our friends (sometimes our dads), and each of us felt like a princess with our prince charming.

Junior Brandi Morgan, a member of NHS this year, had a special memory pertaining to the daddy-daughter dance.

“My very first daddy-daughter dance my dad had been in the hospital for about a month, not knowing if he was going to make it out in time to go with me or even live,” Morgan said. “He got released a week before the dance, and I couldn’t have been more grateful to spend that dance with him there.”

Caught up in the night, we never seemed to question how our fairy-tale dance was made possible for us.

National Honor Society is responsible for the making of this beautiful event.

This year the NHS students came together to create a luau-themed dance for the girls.

Many of us spent our Friday from 2:30 to 9:30 p.m. helping set up and take down the decorations for the April 15 dance.

During the dance, NHS did many things to make the night run smoothly.

Some of us worked the check in, worked as dance motivators — encouraging the girls and their fathers to get out on the floor — and even passed out cookies, chips, and drinks to the father-and-daughter duos.

Senior Noah Jankowski took part in helping set up and remove the decorations, while also helping in the cafeteria.

“The best part about helping was seeing all the little girls take the props and decorations down so we did not have to clean them up,” Jankowski said with humor.

Morgan enjoyed seeing the happiness radiate off the young girls.

“My favorite part was being able to make all the little girls feel like a princess on their night and put a smile on their face,” Morgan said.

The night turned out perfect for both the dads and their daughters, as well as the members of NHS who once stood in the same place as the beautifully dressed up little girls.
