The “Help a Heart” Sadie Hawkins dance, open to all classes, will be held on Nov. 22 from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. in the auxiliary gym at Apex High School.

The dance is being sponsored by juniors John Mitchell III, Michael DeSantis, and senior Grant Smith, as their “Learn and Earn Project” through DECA, a business oriented club at school. Mitchell said, “The magnitude of this is pretty large. Some people do papers and other things, but this is taking it to the next level.”

“We decided that the way we were going to raise money was through a school dance and donate all the profits to a charity of our choice,” said Smith.
