The students of Boren Elementary put on their dancing shoes for the 8th annual Jivin' in the Gym event. This program gives students the opportunity to invite their parents to P.E. class to learn a series of fun dances.
Boren P.E. teacher Cheryl Stranahan started this event to encourage parent involvement with students on campus. It has been very successful over the past several years and very well received.
In addition to the program being good exercise for parents and students, it also serves as a great way for parents to get to know some of the Mansfield ISD staff.
