All elementary school grade girls currently enrolled in Richard J. Oglesby Elementary School and their fathers or father figures were invited to attend a Daddy-Daughter Dance sponsored by the School Staff, Oglesby Local School Council (LSC) and the evet held at Oglesby Elementary School.
The evening of February 26, 2015, Oglesby Elementary School, an Auburn Gresham GOLD School Partner, the entire school staff, its local school council (LSC) and the Greater Auburn-Gresham Development Corporation sponsored the second annual Daddy-Daughter dance. The dance was for girls in Kindergarten through 8th grade.
The theme for this year's dance was very fitting of this 2nd annual event. Daddies and daughters enjoyed a fun filled evening of wonderful food provided by local Auburn Gresham Restaurants, red carpet ready photos by a local photographer Ty Watts and the schools own photographer, lots of couple dancing, plenty of hugs, and more dancing!The dance was held from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Oglesby Elementary School gym.
The gym was decorated with balloons and streamers, which helped it translate into a cinderella ball setting. Each little girl was beautifully dressed and some even coordinated their outfit(s) with their dads! They were all truly beamed with pride and self-confidence, while dressed as little princesses. They were completely overjoyed to dance with their fathers!
At the end of the night, all the young ladies were excited to line up with Principal and take the final photo, where one young last said, "this is a big thank-you to our principal for making us feel special with our daddies."
To make them feel even more special and to show a token of appreciation from the Oglesby staff, each daddy was presented a certificate for, "The World's Best Father."
It was night to remember for all involved! A special thank you goes out to Oglesby Elementary partners, parents and the entire local school council (LSC) for all their hard work on this magnificent project!
