Thanks to the National Honor Society, the N.A.C.I., and the Student Government, the Superdance was a great success. The students raised a pledged total of 35,926.00 Over 150 students began dancing in the Bourgade Gym at 11 a.m. To begin the Superdance activities, each participant tied a balloon around his or her ankle. The obvious goal was to step on and pop the other balloons and be the last one left with an unpopped balloon. During the last ten minutes of every hour, participating students took a break and were able to eat. The climax of the event was when Ken Coy of KPHO- TV5 News strolled into the gym. Ken Coy contributes to MDA and helps with the annual Labor Day Telethon in the Phoenix area. Mr. Coy spoke about the courage that children with MD have and how much they appreciate what Bourgade students are doing for them. He believes that this was the highest percentage of enrolled students attending a high school sponsored Superdance.
