The recent annual Winterfest Dance for Students with Disabilities, held at Ciminero's Banquet Hall in Niles, was truly an exciting event. The dance, which hosted 250 students from 18 schools, featured a special visit from Mr. and Mrs. Claus (East High School Dean of Students, Mr. Budai, and retired YCSD teacher Hilda McKee) and was energized by the guest DJ, Mayor Brown!
East's very own Jeanne Constantino is one of the event's coordinators. Due to the pandemic, the Winterfest had to pause, but it has been back in full force for the past two years. Although the Winterfest is not a district event, per se, our staff is heavily involved in ensuring its success. We deeply appreciate everyone's contribution in bringing the Winterfest to life and for all the students coming out for a thrilling evening!
