Merton Intermediate Only
Semi-Formal Dance

Friday, February 27, 2026
6:00PM to 8:00PM
Intermediate Gym & Cafeteria

You've been asking for it, so here it is!!

A dance JUST for Merton Intermediate students. 5th - 8th Graders only. No parents. No younger kids. Just you, your friends, and an awesome night to remember!

The Vibe

We sent out a survey to ask you what you wanted. Maybe it's no surprise that the vote was 50% for Black & White, and 50% for Valentine's Day ...... so we're going to do a blend of both!

Expect: Black and white decor with pops of red and pink flowers and hearts.

The Dress Code

Black & White, or add pops of color. Keep it chill or go all out—just make sure you're matching the aesthetic. Preferred Semi-Formal, but you do you. We don't care if you want to be fancy or sweatpants-y.

The Energy

DJ Matthew has a list of the music you requested via the survey, and is available to take requests on demand. No slow dances, no awkwardness—just the music you actually listen to.

RSVP - Let us know if you're coming!

Volunteer Opportunities

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this for?

Merton Intermediate ONLY (5th - 8th Grade). No primary kids. No parents (except a few of the coolest chaperones to make sure everyone stays safe!)

What do I wear?

This one is up to you! Expect some people to go "all out" with semi-formal outfits that are all black or white (or a combination) or outfits that bring a pop of color to the night. You may prefer "fancy" clothes, or you can be more "sweatpants-y". You choose what's comfortable for you ..... as long as it follows school dress code.

Do I need to order food in advance?

No, you do not need to order your food in advance. We'll have hot dogs, chips, soda, bottled water, candy, and ice cream. Bring cash!!

Do parents need to come in the building?

If you have completed the registration, you DO NOT need to come in to the building to drop your student(s) off.

If you DO not complete the online registration, WALK-IN attendees ARE welcome; we need to to come in to the building to sign a permission slip.

PICK-UP: ALL parents need to come into the building to collect their student(s) personally. We want to be sure that every student is safely getting home with their known adult. Thank you!
