Dance Festival

Today was the last day of school . . . already! Every year Provost has a dance festival: the parents come watch each grade perform a dance, and then everyone goes home for the summer. So really the last day of school only lasts about 90 minutes!

Before the dancing started, I thanked all of the parents on behalf of the PTA. Then I "passed the baton" on to next year's president.

 

The fourth graders have been learning the violin this year. They performed a few songs for everyone to start off the festival. Nathan is in the middle of this picture with the star in the middle of his cowboy hat.

 

It was a rainy day and we were all concerned about how we would get through all of the dances -- there is just not enough room to move it all to the gym. Many parents had umbrellas and jackets, and we prayed that the rain would not turn into a downpour. Thankfully, the rain stayed fairly light until we were done, and then it got heavy!

Joshua and the kindergarteners performed the Macarena.

Benjamin and the 2nd graders performed a Snowman medley. Second grade does it every year and it is always my favorite!

We sat on the side, but from the front you'd be able to tell that the kids are holding the different parts of the snowman. Of course, Benjamin is in the front!

Nathan and the 4th graders did line dancing to the Boot Scoot Boogie. Then everyone was invited to dance with them.
