Theme: Jukebox Jamboree, 50s Theme

Where: Rail District Building, 9750 John W. Elliott Dr. | Frisco 75033

Non-GCA Guest Information

Please refer to the previous email sent by Mr. Brown with Guest information. You will need to print out the Guest Form, both parties will need to fill out all information and return to GCA by October 20th. No guest may attend the dance without prior approval. Please remember this before you purchase a second ticket.

Dress Code

You do not have to dress in theme, but it is fun and adds to the experience. Please remember that any outfit you decide to wear must fall within the guidelines set. Students arriving in immodest attire will not be permitted to enter and will have to return home or a parent will have to bring an additional outfit for them to wear. This goes for GCA students and any potential guests they bring.

Ladies:

  • Short dresses/skirts or shorts must be within the short side of a 3×5 index card of the top of the knee. (Essentially 3 inches from the top of knee.)
  • Pants may be worn but no leggings
  • Midriff covered by non-see-through fabric in front and on sides (no cutouts)
  • Undergarment straps cannot be shown on bare skin.
  • Two piece dresses may be worn if the top covers the skirt by at least 6 inches if the top and skirt simply “meet in the middle” it does not meet dress code and must be sewn together
  • The back of the dress should be no lower than your natural waistline
  • No cut outs, sides of body or midriff showing
  • Strapless dresses or off the shoulder dresses (must be high enough to cover cleavage or be altered to cover cleavage; it is your responsibility to ensure your gown stays in place throughout the evening)

Boys:

  • Clothing should be clean, neat, and appropriately fitted
  • Suits and ties are not required but may be worn; students should dress neatly and comfortably for the occasion.
  • Outfit that is matching the theme
  • Clean, non-ripped, stained, or ratty top
    Jeans may be worn as long as they are not ripped or tattered.
  • Clean, closed-toe shoes
    Shirts should provide appropriate coverage
  • No clothing with offensive, inappropriate, or overly distracting graphics or language
Volunteer Opportunities

We would love your help in making this event a success! Parents are welcome to come out and help with decorating or donate snacks and drinks for our students.

Please note that we will not be utilizing parent chaperones this year. We simply ask that parents drop off their students and return at the end of the evening for pickup.

Axis Resources

Axis Resources

Want to connect deeper with your pre-teen or teenager? GCA has subscribed to AXIS. Check out their FREE resources HERE and be on the lookout for a login to access MORE of their great materials, discussion guides for parents/ teens, etc. Axis is a Christian company whose mission statement is “connecting parents, teens and Jesus in a disconnected world.” 

One resource we can highly recommend is their free “culture translator” which sends you an email with info about the latest trends from a Christian perspective and things to be aware of as a parent.

This site has lots of great videos and resources. You can create a free account HERE, just click “login” and “create an account.”

It is important now more than ever to be engaged and a part of your pre-teen and teenager’s life and disciple them through the confusing culture and times we live in.
