But you won’t get into the dance unless you have a ticket.  So, you better buy one or two or three tickets so you won’t be left out in the cold.  And you will receive a unique picture frame just for buying each ticket!!  They will be sold in the bookstore before and after school and during lunch for only $12 per ticket.
