This week's activities at Herington Schools.
In preparation for prom, HHS prom attendees had the opportunity to learn a few basic dances. Participants learned the two-step, swing dance, and several popular line dances. This is the second year this has been offered and we love it -- have a blast at the Golden Gala! #RailerProud
