WPA

Every year Kennedy High School holds a homecoming dance, a WPA dance, and of course prom.

"WPA" stands for women pay all, it's kind of making up for the guys paying for almost everything at homecoming and also gives the girls a chance to be creative and ask the guys to the dance.

It is similar to a winter formal considering that it is in the winter time. Every year it is some time in March and this year it is held on March 24th.

It is also very similar to homecoming, it is located in the same spot and the same kind of music is played. There will also be a photographer there to take professional dance pictures. Although the dances themselves are about the same, there are some differences.

There is no king or queen, WPA is not as dressy as homecoming or prom, it is much more casual and like I said before the girls ask the boys this time. Another thing that is different is not as many peope go to WPA as they do for homecoming. About 500-700 people attend. People usually do the same when they take pictures, go out to eat, and then attend the dance.

WPA is 5 dollars to get in and it is one of the many fundraisers that we have to help out in different ways. There will be a D.J and a theme determined by the student government who is involved in planning most of the dance.

Even though WPA doesn't attract as many people, it is still a fun experience and you only get to do it once a year in your high school career.
