JOB CORPS The event was a fundraiser for student government association at Springdale, and students and staff alike were encouraged to purchase tickets for $1 to vote on their favorite. Each student was issued one free ticket for voting.
Students and staff eagerly await the results to be tallied, as the judges input as well as the students votes will be compiled and announced on Monday, April 30th at the weekly meeting for all staff and students at Springdale.
Despite the competition, all students and staff had a blast – and it showed. Between the sparkles, the smiles, the makeup, and shockingly, a little bit of Copacabana, the contestants showed the crowd they had what it takes to go that extra mile.
