Students dance for Parents Together Organization

Ridgefield — Union Ridge Elementary School’s annual Dance-a-Thon fundraiser brought in more than $14,000, a record for the event. The money will support the Parents Together Organization, with money going to purchase needed equipment and fund school-wide activities. Students from kindergarten through sixth grade spent part of their day on Nov. 4 dancing and mimicking moves projected onto a big screen. “Even the shyest of students were enjoying the music and moving to the beat,” Principal Kelly Macdonald said in a release from the school.
