Second Wikipedia Edit for Villa Maria Academy

I made my second Wikipedia edit for Villa Maria Academy. I added the following, "In addition to the offerings listed above there are also many events held by Villa Maria. In the beginning of the school year there is a picnic for all students to kick off the year. There are several assemblies held throughout the year including liturgies and the ever popular Magazine Drive assembly. A few pep rallies are held before athletic games and some concerts are performed frequently during the year. A Mother Daughter Tea is open to all students and their mothers towards the beginning of the year. There are also several dances that are always highly anticipated by the students. They include a Soph Hop held for Sophomores and Juniors, a Father Daughter dance, a Winter Formal held for all grades, and a formal Prom for Juniors and Seniors. There is also an Auction held annually in the spring in which proceeds are used to improve the school. Towards the end of the year are Daisy Chain and Senior Sing, two longtime and very memorable traditions." I thought I would add this because I wanted to show that the highschool is more than just academics and athletics. By showing that there are enjoyable events held throughout the year, I thought that the school would seem much more appealing to people and show another positive side of the institution. There are also other events held at the highschool, but I figured these were the most popular and memorable. If I can think of any others I can always add them later, a very helpful and useful feature of Wikipedia!
