SUNDAY’ MARCH 14TH - BRANNON CENTER, INDIAN RIVER INSTITUTE FOR THE CREATIVE ARTS CONCERT…NO CHARGE - STARTS AT 1:30PM DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME.(TIME CHANGE THAT DAY REMEMBER TO TURN YOUR CLOCKS AHEAD ON SATURDAY NIGHT)
Friday night (March 5th) in New Smyrna Beach High School’s cafeteria, the class of 2010 seniors hosted a dance. Nothing out of the ordinary for a high school to have a dance on their campus, but this dance was very different. It was a SENIOR - SENIOR DANCE. Translation: The senior students invited senior citizens to join them for an evening full of dancing, live entertainment, refreshments and photos.
This service project was a way to give back to the community that is beloved in New Smyrna Beach, the “Young At Heart” senior citizens including grandparents, church members, co-workers and friends. The senior class president, Sydney Kendricks, welcomed the elderly to this young and old party. The music selections spanned over 60 years and everyone enjoyed the collection chosen by Peri Kose and the disc jockey was Chris Atwell, both members of
the steering committee.
The Electric Slide filled the dance floor as young and old danced simultaneously to the crowd pleasing song.
Live entertainment was also provided, featuring singing and guitar playing by Justin Watson, Candice Cuchetti and Alex Kinsey.
Kaylee Richmond and Amanda Bartlett were student photographers that took pictures and printed them out during the evening, providing everyone with a memento of the dance.
The event was advertised on flyers that were distributed around town. There was not a huge crowd, but everyone that attended had a wonderful time. As the dance was winding down and people were beginning to leave, one woman was heard saying, “That made me feel young again!”

Every year the Coronado Beach Elementary School develop an Artist Trading Card unit where all the students create several pieces of original artwork on 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ pieces of paper. At the end of class time the students trade with each other thereby creating a collection of Art. They usually trade with the High School every year but this year they wanted to try something different. They planned a Family Artist Trading Card night and invited all the students along with their parents, family and friends. PTA served pizza and drinks and the students created and traded all evening. Several guest artists attend as well as a bunch of High School art students. There were door prizes which happened to be beautiful trading cards developed by professional artists, teachers and the High School art students. Over 300 attended and it turned out to be an incredible, unforgettable evening.
