This year's Daddy Daughter Dance was another memorable evening for our Wildcat Dads and Daughters.  The evening's theme was "Daddy and Me By The Sea", and featured spectacular decorations including an enormous octopus balloon creation, delicious food, a photo booth, formal pictures, and cool beats for dancing.  A huge thank you to our PTO for creating such a magical evening for everyone in attendance!
