It is almost time for the Harvest Ball. This year the Harvest Ball, also known as cotillion, will be held on November fifth at the Waterview in Monroe, Connecticut from 7:00 to 10:30 pm. School sponsored events such as the Harvest Ball are times when students come together in a safe, inviting, and supervised school sponsored event.\u00a0 What a better way to start the school year back again than with a dance that is less formal than prom, but just as fun. The anticipation for the Harvest Ball has girls finding the perfect dress and guys finding the perfect tux. For some, the inevitable romance that comes with such an event makes memories that will never be forgotten. As Vanessa Kenealy said, \u201cJunior Cotillion was one of the best nights of my life. When \u2018Someboy like you\u2019 came on and I was dancing with my boyfriend, I felt like it was only the two of us and I forgot about everyone else there. I thought that type of stuff only happened at the movies, I didn\u2019t think that it would happen to me.\u201d\u00a0 Vanessa is sure that she wasn\u2019t the only one feeling sparks, as there were plenty of couples there.<\/p>\n
For seniors, the Harvest Ball comes just in time to reduce some stress during a busy time of their high school career. Fall is the time when many students are overwhelmed planning for college. While they are trying to put together college applications and resumes before the respective deadlines, cotillion is a chance to dance the stress away and be hassle free, if only for one night. Senior Maggie Velloso said, \u201cI have been filling out the common app for days, going away to different states on college road trips, and hunting down my teachers for college applications. I think Cotillion will be a time to relax a bit and enjoy one of the last high school experiences I\u2019m going to have before I go away.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whether it is for romance or for a break from college planning, most students go for one simple reason: to have an amazing time! Ximena Cordal said \u201cI had so much last year as a junior. I\u2019m trying to get all my friends to go again this year. The candy bar they had was amazing, and overall it was great.\u201d<\/p>\n
So upperclassmen: get ready to make lasting memories with your friends. These are memories to take with you when you head off to college.\u00a0 Underclassmen get excited for the future and an amazing night that you have coming your way in the years to come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
