Mrs. Pomeroy’s Dance Residency

Mrs. Pomeroy’s dance residency once again was an engaging, successful and fun activity in our school. The students participated in many different dances and learning many new dances this year.

Last night, we hosted the family dance to conclude our week-long dancing. It was truly wonderful to see all the families come together for this community event. We would like to extend our gratitude to Mrs. Pomeroy for orchestrating a fantastic week filled with a variety of enjoyable dances.
