An illustrative poster for a "Sneaker Ball" event. The top reads "SAVE THE DATE!" Below it is a large, stylized high-top sneaker with laces and a toe cap. The words "SNEAKER BALL" are printed, curving vertically along the side of the shoe. Underneath the sneaker, a line indicates "JUNE 5TH 5:30-7:00". The bottom of the poster states "4TH AND 5TH GRADE STUDENTS" and "TICKETS $5". In the bottom right corner, there is a cartoon hornet mascot.
