On December 13, 2025, CORE students and friends stepped into a fairy tale at this year’s Cinderella-themed Winter Formal. Patrick Ranch, the venue, was transformed by the twinkling lights, light blue decorations, white roses, and a rainbow of dresses. Everyone dressed in fancy attire: dresses, suits, and everything in between, danced the night away while singing lyrics to songs together. ASB included some choreographed dances like “Footloose” and “Cupid Shuffle” that had students shuffling across the dance floor in unison. From the music to the intoxicating atmosphere, the night was truly out of a storybook.

“Winter Formal was super fun! It is an exciting, loud, and bright way to end the semester, offering a nice escape from the pressure in day-to-day life.
