0313 Chelsea Sock Hop
Chelsea Intermediate students Thomas Root, Wesley Lamberson and Camden Davis rock around the clock.
To study the 1950s, students at Chelsea Intermediate School traveled back in time.
Students took on the personas of students in the 1950s and created a time capsule to share with people in the future year of 2013. They dressed in period attire and held a “Rock Around the Clock” event to open their capsules and learn about the "future."
Following their presentations, students attended a Sock Hop where they danced and drank Coke floats. During their study of decades so far, soldiers have played a major, reoccurring role. Therefore, the theme of the Sock Hop was “Socks for Soldiers: Care, Share, Give a Pair!” where students collected socks to send to U.S. troops stationed overseas.
