Wylie Elementary School Holds 1950s Sock Hop
The Dexter elementary school celebrated the 56th day of school with a special dance on Nov. 23.
Hundreds of screaming children filled the gymnasium at Wylie Elementary School to celebrate the school's 56th day of classes in grand fashion with a 1950s sock hop.
Principal Mary Cooper said the sock hop was conceived three years ago as a fun way to promote health and fitness.
"We're trying to keep bodies healthy because healthy bodies mean healthy minds," Cooper said.
