The Sophomore Sweet Sixteen, hosted on January 6th, by the Newman moms was a huge success. As an attendee, it was well-planned and my friends and I had a great time. From the photographer walking around to the DJ on the stage, the Newman moms did a great job planning the party. When entering the first room, baby photos (that were selected by the honorees’ parents) were propped up for everyone to sign. The next room had a bar and food, which was where most of the parents stayed throughout the night (this room was adjacent to the main room). The main room was where the stage and dance floor were, as well as a smaller buffet table (which had mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, pizza, mac and cheese, etc.) and other tables throughout the room. Here’s a quote from Jackie Bellaire (a sophomore at Newman and an attendee), about the venue: “The venue was beautiful, and the entrance with the posters to sign was really sweet”. The event lasted about three hours and ended around eleven. The attendees consisted of tenth-grade boys and girls from Newman, along with other freshmen and sophomores from other high schools like Sacred Heart, McGee, Country Day, etc. Overall, the moms truly did a great job planning the dance, and it was a really fun night for everyone who attended.
