Guests were greeted with a veil of snowflakes for the St. Martha Catholic School Father and Daughter Dance Friday, Feb. 5. 

The room was decorated with shimmering snowflakes and even a life-size igloo to complete the theme “A Night On Ice.” Fathers and daughters spent the evening on the dance floor along with a photo booth to capture their memories.
