Spring Dance!
Written by Songbird
It's that time of year again. The planning has begun for the upcoming spring dance. The spring dance is not a Co-op activity but is always an amazing social event for the students of Cornerstone Co-op to attend. Kendra Park and Jane Ehrman are looking for some feedback on the theme and the date for the dance. Unfortunately the date of the dance will not work for everyone however, they want to give the students an opportunity to have input. The dates in question are April 13th, April 27th, and May 11th. The possible themes are A Night to Remember, At the Carnival, or Underwater Paradise. Each high school student may vote on a date and a theme for the dance. You can send an e-mail with your name, date of choice, and theme of choice to springdance@gmx.com. All of the students who have attended Co-op during this academic year from 8th grade to seniors are invited to attend. The Juniors and Seniors are allowed to bring a friend from outside of co-op to attend the dance. The dress code must be followed by all participants at the dance. All dress must be modest.
“Men: This dance requires semi-formal to formal attire. If you are in doubt, err on the formal side. Dress slacks, shirt, and tie are appropriate. (please, no jeans)”
“Ladies:
~The back of the dress must come up to the bra line.
~NO plunging necklines will be allowed.
~The bust line must be completely covered; no cleavage.
~The dress must come up on the sides to your underarms.
~Strapless gowns are okay, so long as they remain modest.
~Dress length must come to right above the knee.
You can wear a jacket, sweater, shawl or leggings if there is a question about one's dress.”
The location of the dance has yet to be decided so if your church would be a possibility and has room please e-mail Kendra Park or Jane Eherman.
Winter Fashion
Written by Songbird
As the seasons change so do your clothes. Often times as winter comes we pile on the scarves and sweaters. However, it is possible to stay warm and fashionable this winter. To look trendy in any season jeans are a must. They come in millions of shades and keep you warm and looking your best. The most popular jeans for 2012 are definitely Skinny jeans, and flared jeans for girls dark washes, decorative distressing, and neon colors are all the rage this season. For guys straight leg jeans are what is in style. Black, gray, and dark blue washes are definitely some of the top colors this winter. Moving up, popular shirts this season for girls are animal prints in a variety of shades and styles as well as funky geometric patterns, and soft florals. Most popular shirt options for guys are layered graphic T-shirts with a coordinating long sleeve T-shirt underneath. These shirts are very in this season and also are quite warm and comfortable. For foot ware obviously Converse High tops are one of the most trendy styles for your feet. A close second and third for girls are the Ugg boots, and also this season the moccasin slippers and a close second for guys would be Vans skate board shoes. For an extra layer of warmth graphic zip up hoodies keep you warm and looking cool. If you really want to be toasty you can pick up a wool toggle or pea coat or a sheik leather jacket which make a real fashion statement for both guys and girls! Finally hats and scarves don't have to be huge and bulky to be warm! Instead you can try a guys billed knit hat or a knit beanie. Girls can throw a crochet beret on and wrap a cute knit scarf around there neck for a complete look. I hope these easy tips keep you warm this winter while looking cool!
