The theme of the eighth-grade dance, that was hosted by the seventh-graders, at my girls’ school was Masquerade.  Since I have a seventh-grader, I was one of the moms to help plan the event – and it was held last Friday evening at the school social center.  Since the school ends at eighth grade, there’s a big ta-doo about the graduating eighth-graders, with this dinner and dance being the social event of the year – outside of the upcoming graduation.

The art teacher at the school was in charge of creating masks for all of the eighth-graders, trying to fit their personalities with some type of bird.  I don’t know the kids very well, but I think the masks were outstanding – filled with colors, glitters and unbelievable character.

Not to be outdone by my creative daughter #1, she made masks for her siblings yesterday:
