(FREE BEACON) – The New York City high school that canceled in-person classes to make space for migrants is also postponing its winter dance, which was scheduled to take place Wednesday night in the school's gym-turned-migrant shelter.
James Madison High School announced the postponement in a Wednesday Instagram post, which said the "James Madison Winter Wonderland Dance" would be "postponed until further notice." The dance was scheduled for Wednesday evening in the school gym, according to the James Madison High School website. Students purchased tickets to attend the dance at least three weeks in advance.
Nearly 2,000 migrants took shelter in the gym Tuesday night after city officials transferred them from their nearby tent shelter, which the city deemed unsafe due to a large storm. The migrants, who traveled to New York after entering the country via the southern border, cleared out of James Madison High School by 4:30 a.m. Wednesday and returned to their tent, according to City Hall.
