Rangoli Rave Photos

The YHS Parents’ Association hosted another successful event, the “Rangoli Rave” — a Bollywood themed Mother Daughter event. Moms and daughters came dressed in their brightest and celebrated in style. Holly Conway and Nira Arora from 94.5 Virgin Radio MC’d the event. Guests enjoyed a lavish three-course Indian dinner buffet, Bollywood entertainment, DJ and dancing, and fantastic raffle prizes.
