G.I. Senior High School Student Council sponsoring all-city high school dance

Grand Island Senior High School's Student Council is sponsoring an all-city high school dance from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, at the Heartland Events Center, Principal Kent Mann said.

Students from every high school in Grand Island are invited to attend the event, he said.

The Student Council hopes to raise at least $1,000 from the sale of admission tickets to purchase Christmas gifts for residents of the Nebraska Veterans Home, Mann said.

The doors to the Heartland Events Center will open at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 23 for the dance. The first 500 students who enter the dance will receive a special door prize.

Tickets are $5 per person in advance and $10 per person at the door.

Tickets may be purchased at the Arbys restaurants on North Webb Road and South Locust Street and at Home Federal Bank at its Stolley Park Road and Skagway South offices.
