The RHS actors went on to lead the younger children in a series of dancing games, including the freeze dance, hula hoop circle and cha cha slide.

At the back of the room opposite the stage, children had the opportunity to tackle all kinds of arts and crafts ranging from Yokut weaving to making paper totem poles, fashioning Hawaiian leis, making small drums, nailing together wooden gift boxes and other diversions.

After school advisors Bianca Lopez, Monica Villareal, Paul Corona and Bailey-Gabrie organized the event.

Sponsoring organizations included Home Depot and Target stores, the Cultural Center of Riverbank, Ballet Folklorico, Riverbank High Drama Club, Riverbank Cub Scouts, Family Literacy Club, Galaxy Theatre, Stanislaus Literacy Center, Golden Valley Health Center, Lemonade Day, Riverbank Library, Casa of California, the CASA del Rio Family Resource Center, the Youth Center and City of Riverbank.
