Mineola Students Learn Circus Skills

Submitted by Mineola School District

Kindergarten through second-graders at Hampton Street School in the Mineola Union Free School District experienced The National Circus Project.

Skilled performers put on a show for the entire school, amazing the students with their juggling and acrobatic tricks. Each student then participated in a workshop in which they got to learn and practice some of the circus skills they had seen on stage.

The event tied in to the students’ circus-themed unit in physical education and was sponsored by the school’s Parent Teacher Association.
