Monroe Vicariate 7th/8th Grade Dances

About Dances

MCES students in 7th & 8th grades have the option of attending dances at our area Catholic and Lutheran Schools. These extracurricular dances are hosted by the parent groups of the Parish Schools. Typically the annual dances follow this schedule:
  • Back-To-School Dance- St. Patrick's in Carlton
  • Fall October Dance - MCES St. Mary Campus
  • Christmas Dance - St. Charles in Newport
  • New Year Dance - St. Joe in Erie
  • Valentine's Dance - Trinity Lutheran
  • Spring Dance - MCES St. Mary Campus
  • May Farewell to the 8th Grade Dance - MCES St. Mary


Cost

Regular Dances are $6 a person with concessions also being sold. The Farewell Dance is $10 but all snacks and activities are included in the price.

Dress Code

Students must follow the vicariate Dance Guidelines. These must be signed and on file at the student's school. Click Here to download.

Cell Phones

Farewell Dance

,Cell phones can be brought to dances but will be collected in baskets, organized by school. This keeps our children focused on each other and prevents unwanted photos from being taken. If a student needs to call home, the school chaperons will allow the child to use their phone.

​Why does MCES host 3 dances?

MCES host three dances annually to represent our three Parishes: St. Michael, St. John and St. Mary.
Some families feel the need to purchase expensive dresses and get hair and nails done before the annual Farewell to the 8th Grade dance. MCES respectfully requests that parents:
  • Only purchase dress with straps or have straps added to the dress
  • Limit the shoe heights for young ladies to 2.5 inches
  • Do NOT encourage going with dates, Encourage groups to go together and celebrate the end of the 8th grade's Catholic Grade School Experience.
  • Shop for dresses on sale and consider the same dress for confirmation or graduation.
  • Do NOT send your student to school with food, gifts, flowers or balloons to ask a fellow student to Farewell... save these activities for High School.
