On the evening of Saturday, Jan. 25, Jesuit High School Sacramento will be hosting its second annual Semi Formal Winter Ball. This magical night will be held from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the Father Barry Gymnasium.

This year, the student council has enhanced the atmosphere and added more details to compliment the dance. Student Council treasurer and secretary Luke Elken ’27 explains the frosty vision.

“Last year was a huge hit, a huge success,” Luke said. “This year we’re hoping to continue that and make it better. We’re continuing the tradition of keeping the theme of the dance, ‘winter;’ however, we’re going to be adding some more games like ping pong, then we’re gonna make sure there’s a photo booth. The DJ has a couple more different special effects and tricks up his sleeve that he’s gonna bring to the dance, so we’re looking forward to that.”

One of the Winter Ball’s main purposes is to foster a sense of community and unity among students. Student Council class senator Tyler Reynolds ’27 echoes this sentiment and believes that last year’s dance played a huge role in forming his friend circle. 

“I remember the Winter Ball being a great opportunity,” Tyler said. “My current friend group that I have is great. A lot of them I met at the Winter Ball. I just remember the dance circles and just the enjoyment and hype around that dance.”

Students will form new relationships and strengthen existing ones at this year’s Winter Ball. Tickets are on sale here until January 22 at 3 p.m. – you don’t want to miss this special opportunity.
