Winter Dance 2023

Sophie Campbell / 2023-12-21

On a chilly Thursday night, the students lucky enough to get a ticket in time rushed themselves to school at 7 o’clock to an event of dancing, laughing, and fun! Decorated generously, the usually active gym in the basement of Nepean High School was more prominently filled with happy students. Ever since COVID-19 many senior students missed out on dances like these, an experience so unique to high school and teenagehood that entire movies and novels are based around them. Gaining back dances may seem small or silly, but they are part of a tradition experienced worldwide. Outside of the gym the cold air rustled and howled, blowing through the trees and settling in for winter, while Nepean students stayed content and warm inside. I think that a lot of senior students were very grateful for the dances this year and last. Hopefully, it was not our last.
