I just wanted to take a moment and thank you, your students and staff for providing such a warm, festive venue for my son and so many like him. Last night was Matthew’s first Snowflake Ball and, hopefully, won’t be his last. He is a freshman at Holly Springs High and loves every minute of it but, unfortunately, he doesn’t have a tremendously active social life. Dances like the Snowflake Ball allow him to enjoy the his teenage years like everyone else.
