Change the date of American Fork High's Sadies dance
The Issue
On November 7th, the students of American Fork High School are torn. This Saturday was supposed to be a memorable night filled with music, laughter, and unforgettable memories at the annual Sadie dance. However, a significant number of students find themselves unable to attend because it clashes with the highly anticipated BYU vs. Utah football game.
For many students, attending the BYU vs. Utah game is more than just watching a sport; it’s a cherished tradition, a time to bond with friends and family, and to root for the team they love. Given the magnitude of this event, having to choose between it and their high school dance poses an unnecessary dilemma.
The dance, a cherished tradition in its own right, is not just a school event but an integral part of the high school experience. It is designed to foster friendships and to allow students to express themselves in a joyous environment. The clash of these two significant events means that many students are in danger of missing out, which is both disappointing and avoidable.
By shifting the Sadie dance to another date, we can ensure that students can participate in both beloved traditions without having to make a tough choice. This change not only respects the students' enthusiasm for both events but also underscores our commitment to their high school experience.
We understand organizing a dance is no small feat, but with cooperation from the high school administration and a commitment from the community, rescheduling is feasible. Other schools have successfully navigated similar scheduling conflicts by being flexible, and it's worked out to everyone's satisfaction.
We ask the American Fork High School administration to consider the significance of both events for students and the potential for joyous participation in both. Making this change ensures that all students can partake in the activities that they hold dear.
We urge all students, parents, and community members to support this petition for change. Together, let's work to make this year's Sadies dance accessible to all. Please sign this petition to advocate for rescheduling the dance to a more suitable date, so every student can experience all the joys high school has to offer.
