Easton ROCKS Showcases Fun After-School Programs

April 11, 2008—Easton Elementary School was rocking Friday night with hip hop music and rock-n-roll, spinning dancers and bouncing unicyclists. Even some would-be wizards in dark cloaks made an appearance in the school’s crowded gym.

It may sound like the premiere of a new Cirque du Soleil show, but the purpose of Friday night’s free program at Moton was to showcase activities that Easton ROCKS After School, Inc., offers students at Easton’s elementary and middle schools.

Friday night’s ROCKS show, which attracted an audience of over 300 people, featured popular after-school programs like the School of Rock, Easton Elementary’s very own kid-led rock-n-roll band; the Hip Hop Dance Clubs from Easton’s elementary and middle schools; the Unicyclist and Rollerblade Club; and the Muggles’ Club, which consists of hardcore Harry Potter fans who performed a skit from the popular series’ first book, The Sorcerer’s Stone.
