HOSA to Host First Blacklight Ball

On Friday, Jan. 30, the first ever Blacklight Ball will be held in the Westwood atrium from 7-10 p.m. Westwood’s Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) club is sponsoring this original, one of a kind school dance.

The first school dance of 2015 will be sort of like the blacklight pep-rally set up earlier this school year. The pep-rally featured blacklight, glow sticks, glow in the dark paint, and t-shirts that illuminated in the black light.

The Blacklight Ball is on Friday, Jan. 30 from 7-10 p.m. Tickets for a couple cost $10 while tickets for a single person cost $7. You don’t want to miss out on the first Blacklight school dance Westwood has ever put together.

As one of the most complicated stunts they perform, the Cheerleading team stacks on top of one another forming a pyramid with a Westwood ‘W’. “The pyramid was challenging because we had to put a lot of faith in each other to be able to throw Audri Moreno ‘27 high enough so she wouldn't hit Mia Zell ‘28 while flying over,” Cheerleader Jenna Hallidy ‘25 said. Although this new advanced routine heavily challenged the cheerleaders, they persevered to make the Pep Rally a success.
