IMAGE GALLERY: Dancing The Night Away

Fuller Middle School held a costume dance last week. Thanks to Photography in Motion owner Charlie Pasewark for the photo slideshow.

Fuller Middle School held a costume dance Friday night. The evening featured some very creative (some scary) costumes and both students and teachers were very much into the Halloween spirit.  Fuller’s own “DJ Exponent” spun some of today’s most popular music and got the crowd up and dancing. As the party warmed up, "Thomas The Tank Engine" lead a train of dancers that encircled the dance floor. In almost no time, that train grew and went around the whole room.  Thanks to Charlie Pasewark of Photography In Motion for the photos! Please tag (and identify) yourself in the photos!

Come in costume for the performance, as there will be a costume parade following each show. For those unfamiliar with the story: "The play begins when Ichabod Crane, a slightly goofy schoolmaster, comes to the farming community of Sleepy Hollow.
