Walnut Valley students Mix It Up

Walnut Valley students were mixing it up for National Mix It Up Day on Oct. 18. Activities ranged from flash mobs to lunch groups in the busy school district.

But at least the kids were mixing it up for a good cause. They were learning to be tolerant of others, that our differences make life exciting.

The student leaders at Suzanne Middle School in Walnut really got into the national event by forming flash mobs throughout the busy school day.

Between class periods, students leaders, PALS and drama class pumped up the music and danced to a student choreographed routine.

Throughout the day, the dancers taught other students the 1-minute routine. During lunch, the school had 800 kids mixing it up.
