Do Prep Students Need More Social Events?

Does the student body need more social events? This is a question that almost every student at Prep has an opinion on. Some people think we already have enough events, others think it’s fine the way it is, but I believe that we need more social events. I’m sure a lot of other students would agree with me as well. One or two mixers every year just isn’t enough anymore. We must have more mixers throughout the school year. Mixers are important because they give students a chance to meet new people from other schools like Merion, the Mount and Gwynedd. A lot of students enjoy talking to girls and making new friends, and mixers help make that easier. Being able to talk to new people, especially girls, is an important social skill that everyone will need later in life. Having more mixers would help students feel more confident socially and help them step out of their comfort zones, talk to more girls and have fun with their friends.

Another thing we should add is more dances. Right now, we only have homecoming and spring formal. Why not add a winter formal too? During the winter, a lot of students don’t socialize as much, so having a formal would give people something to look forward to. Winter is a long and cold season and having a dance to go to would definitely be a great way to get through the long winter months. It would also be a great chance to find a date, hang out with friends, and have fun. Also, if someone can’t make it to one dance, they would still have 3 other chances to go. Overall, adding more social events like mixers and dances would be really good for the Prep student body. It would help students be more social, boost school spirit, and make school more enjoyable for everyone.
