Roars Rally   04/11/12 - 4:51pm

Maxwell Elementary School recently held an outdoors ROARS Rally to celebrate good behavior, academics, and attendance.

Thomson High School students helped with the event. The Jazz Band introduced students to a variety of music, including the funky Brickhouse and big band’s In the Mood. Cheerleaders led students in a few simple cheers, while basketball players taught court moves. Other activities included a baton-twirling demonstration, face painting, line dancing and magic tricks by Curly the Clown.
