The Associated Student Body will combine the Winter Formal and Sadie Hawkins dances, according to Social Commissioner Trevor Loveless.
Winter Formal, which was scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 9, was canceled on Friday, Jan. 8 due to a lack of student interest.
“We postponed Winter Formal due to low ticket sales,” Loveless said.
Paly dances have displayed a trend of dropping attendance in the past year and ASB is working to reverse the problem.
“The trend of low attendance is a concerning issue,” Loveless said. “We [ASB] are working to discover a way to revive the attendance like previous dances.”
Students who purchased tickets for Winter Formal will be able to receive a refund at the auditor’s office or use their tickets for the next dance, which has yet to be scheduled.
Loveless said that ASB has brainstormed several plans to increase student interest in school dances.
“We are working on maybe finding a performer or another guest to motivate people to come to the dances,” Loveless said.
