Staff report

Students with special needs in Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties have a chance to dress up and dine and dance with their peers at the Winterfest Dance on Dec. 7 at the Mahoning Country Club.

The 11th annual Winterfest Dance runs from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. There is no cost to the students, but RSVPs are required by Friday by calling Jeanne Constantino at East High School at 330-740-4005, ext. 4148, or emailing her at jeanne.constantino@youngstown.k12.oh.us so that the venue knows the amount of food to prepare.

Drop-off for the dance is from 4:30 to 5 p.m. with the dinner from 5 to 6 p.m. followed by dancing until 8:30. Parents will not be permitted at the event between 5 and 8:30 p.m. so the students may enjoy socializing with peers.

Dress is semi-formal. A professional photographer will be taking photos and Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves will make an appearance.

A snow prince and princess will be crowned during the evening, and there will be a random drawing for the dance court.
