On Dec. 12, five elementary
schools gathered at Easton Elementary School for the Colors of the Rainbow,
Dancing Classrooms Competition.
Each boy/girl team performed the
Rumba, Merengue, Tango, Fox Trot and Swing. When all the dancing was done,
students at Forest Park Elementary received the gold medal for coming in first
place.
The other Winston-Salem/Forsyth
County elementary schools that participated were Easton, Hall-Woodward and Old
Town. The fifth school was Shady Grove Elementary in Davie County. All the
schools had participated in the Take the Lead Dancing Classrooms program, which
includes 10 weeks of ballroom dancing instruction for fifth-graders.
"We are so lucky to have this
wonderful program available to schools,” said Norma White, a teacher assistant
at Forest Park who worked with the program. “Our students build such confidence
and respect for themselves as well as in their classmates. We are so proud
of all they accomplished. This gold trophy is just another outstanding
achievement to add to the list."
The coaches for the Forest Park team are technology
facilitator Anna Dooley and teacher Ricquel Pratt.
Falicia Fuller is the principal at Forest Park, and Ann Guill oversees Take the
Lead: Dancing Classrooms for this area.
