First through third grade students have been enjoying a twice weekly trip around the world without leaving Mills Lawn School, thanks to a combined PE/Music folk dancing unit. We have been fortunate to have the expertise of our guest instructor, Ms. Jacinta Williams (immediately below, left) , an active member of the Cincinnati Folk Dance Society and the Miami Valley Folk Dancers (www.daytonfolkdance.com ).

Ms. Jay is a former YS resident, YSHS graduate, Antioch alum and keeper at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden. She started her folk dancing at the Yellow Springs Community Folk Dance on Saturday nights at Mills Lawn School and has remained an avid folk dancer ever since.

Mills Lawn music teacher Jo Frannye Reichert and P.E. teacher Jutta Galbraith collaborated on this unit of study.
