Paden Principal, Teachers Dance in Honor of Students’ Acheivement

Paden Elementary School teacher Marcia Gill, far left, joined Principal Katherine Barr, second from left, and fellow teachers Alison Cheren, Jenny Zippin and Kitrena Swanson in modeling the life skill of courage when they put their dance moves, including the Whip and the Nae Nae, on display in front of the entire student body. The performance was a reward for the students who raised $17,000 in their school’s annual walkathon fundraiser on Oct. 28. In return for pledges of money both students and teachers walked on the school’s lower yard for almost two hours. The walkathon was the major fundraiser for the school’s PTA in 2015. It was a fun way for kids to be active, have fun with friends and raise money for the school. Seeing the principal and teachers doing the Nae Nae added to the mirth.
