South High Marathon Dance March 3 and 4, 2023
From a press release: The 46th annual South High Marathon Dance will be held March 3 and 4, 2023. While the previous two years were single day events held later in the year, the students strongly desire to return to a “traditional” Marathon Dance. Because we are cognizant of the need to be cautious regarding student and volunteer health, we are in the process of reimagining parts of the event. As things come into focus, details will be shared via our Facebook page. Part of the success of the South High Marathon Dance is attributed to the significant number of fundraisers and events which take place throughout the community prior to the weekend of the Marathon Dance. If you would like to conduct a fundraiser or event, or to verify the legitimacy of one which is scheduled, please contact our Events Committee at Events@SHMD.org. All fundraising activities or events, the use of the South High Marathon Dance (SHMD) name, icons, images and logos are subject to approval of the Corporation. Any event or fundraiser raising money for a specific student’s fundraising goal MUST also receive approval, and clearly state on all flyers and advertisements that the proceeds of said activity will be attributed to that student’s total, this includes money jars at businesses. We appreciate your continued support of the South High Marathon Dance.
