Westford hosted a Family Folk Dance Night, bringing students and families together for an evening of music, movement, and community connection! 🎶 Students in grades 3–5 have been learning traditional folk dances in music class and had the opportunity to invite a family member to join them on the dance floor. Rather than simply watching a performance, families became part of the experience, celebrating learning, connection, and the joy of dancing together.
Reminder - Daylight Saving Time Ends tomorrow, Sunday, November 1! ⏰⏰
