Students form a conga line to weave through the crowd at the Kohler Elementary School's Dance.

Kohler Elementary kids have been stepping out in full force. On February 16, kids, parents and teachers ventured out into the cold evening to attend the second annual Elementary School dance at Kohler Elementary School. The cafete- ria transformed into a dance club - complete with flashing colored lights, rock music played by a disc jockey, and refreshments. Students from junior kindergarten through sixth grade danced with their friends, parents, teachers, and even Principal Susan Jaberg. Paula Anderson, one of the event organizers noted, “This year, there were more parents out on the dance floor with their kids, which was really great to see.” For two hours, the crowd did everything from testing their skills at the Limbo, to learning the Macarena, to forming their letters, “Y.M.C.A.” among other dances. As an added bonus, the Kohler Performing Arts Organization held a silent auction fundraiser supported by the high school students. Items ranged from babysitting to ani- Kohler Elementary School honors its teachers in preparing the students to excel in High mal care, music lessons to snow shoveling.
