Our K-5 Family Dance is one of the most popular CW Henry gatherings of the year! We have sold out of tickets each year as we raised money for projects to benefit our school, socialized with other parents in the community, and had a blast with all of our children! In order to make it run smoothly, we need lots of helping hands. We have broken shifts into small chunks of time so that volunteers can also enjoy the dance. And encourage your friends to work a shift with you.
