我们来看看参与其中的孩子们对这次舞会的想法吧！

Let's see what the participating kids think about this event.

LUNA:

Because I am the member of the Leadership, so I am the worker on the winter ball. Before we started, we have organized the plan of it, and distribute what is our work. Everybody did well. After winter ball started, we have done many things to make sure it would not have accident. Happily, the winter ball was successfully complete. 

In the process, I really enjoyed it. When I helped others or did my work, I felt cheerful. Because I thought I am useful, successful, and did my work nice. Moreover, except the work, I have enjoyed the food and dance. The foods are delicious, dance is interesting. On this activity, I made new friends, and also improved my organization and communication ability. In addition, this activity helped me to know more about teachers, that’s also helped me to face teachers in various situations. 

About the self-reflection, I hope I can be braver and help people more things. Then, I should be more positive on organize activity and communicate with others. When it’s unsuccessful, just try again, don’t give up. Next time, I want to organized more things. About expectation, I hope it will have more people come to the activity which we organize.

Mr. Abbott announced the royalty. King was Sam Huang, Queen was Grace Hu, Prince was James Wu, and thePrincesswasClementineAbbott.Therewasasnowballdancewhichgoteverybodydancing. And for the last hour, people danced, doing group dances, freestyle, and having fun. leadership class and student council worked together with Mr. Barber and Mr. Tippets to plan the Winter ball. We divied up responsibilities between the leadership class and began to prepare, with different people working on decorations, some people preparing music playlists, and some people getting games ready. there were a number of problems that occured, we were unable to download the music but we figured out another way to play it. we had prepared a bunch of fun games to play but we ended up not playing them because they had mainly been filler, for when people didn't want to dance. but we didn't need them because people were excited and wanted to dance. there were some upsets, but overall, it was a really fun activity that went well. and we are excited to do the spring dance coming up later this year.

结束了冬季舞会，我们也将悄悄迎来圣诞节和中国新年，希望大家在年底这清凉的天气里注意保暖，我们都健健康康地迎接接下来的活动吧！

After the winter dance, Christmas and Chinese New Year are coming. Please keep warm and in a good mood for the following activities!
