by ‘Beauty and the Beast’ tale<br />

It’s a tale as old as time.<br />
Fathers and daughters<br />
come together for a special<br />
night of dancing, music<br />
and games to create lasting<br />
memories and live happily<br />
ever after.<br />
The Goodings Grove PTO<br />
embraced a “Beauty and the<br />
Beast” theme for its annual<br />
Daddy Daughter Dance, inviting<br />
attendees to “be their<br />
guest” from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.<br />
on Friday, Feb. 8. Along with<br />
participating in everything<br />
from two-steps to waltzes,<br />
fathers and their girls were<br />
treated to craft stations, refreshments,<br />
photo souvenirs<br />
and a visit from two very<br />
special guests, Belle and The<br />
Beast, who sang the “Theme<br />
from Beauty and the Beast”<br />
before leading everyone in a<br />
slow dance.<br />
“We are super excited<br />
about our Be Our Guest<br />
event tonight. We don’t see<br />
the dads all the time. We<br />
always see the moms volunteering,<br />
so it’s really nice<br />
to see the dads with their<br />
daughters,” said Goodings<br />
Grove PTO President Amy<br />
Wiggins, noting that some<br />
fathers also invited their<br />
nieces or family friends,<br />
whose own fathers could not<br />
attend, to join in on the fun.<br />
First-grader Stephanie<br />
Harbin, 6, was very excited<br />
about experiencing her first<br />
ever Daddy Daughter Dance<br />
with her father, Chris, and<br />
getting to “see my friends<br />
with their daddies.” Her<br />
mom and aunt helped her get<br />
ready, and her dad bought<br />
her a flower corsage for the<br />
