Forks Township Youth Dance

Greetings from the campaign trail…


I had the pleasure of chaperoning the Forks Township Youth Sports Organization (FTYSO) middle school dance. This was the first dance I got to observe since last year. Well, I am here to tell you this year’s dance was a success. The kids had a great time and were very well behaved!

The middle school dance chaperones were provided by the Forks Township cheerleading team (Go Falcons!) parents. The chaperones passed out the dance regulations in the parking lot to ensure the parents understood the rules and any child without a school ID would be signed in by their parents. We wanted to ensure only 5th to 7th graders were allowed into the dance. I did observe that almost all the parents reviewed the rules with their children prior to entering the Community Center. I believe this action by the parents reinforced the behavior expected of our children and also ensured the dance would be a success. This is a great example of the township partnering with the community to create a memorable experience for all involved. I would like to thank the FTYSO for a great job in providing a safe and fun environment for our children.

I know our daughter is looking forward to attending the October dance.
