As an extension of their physical education classes, Bayville Intermediate School fifth-graders learned a number of new skills during the annual Bayville Elementary Parents’ Council Circus Week.

The highly anticipated program kicked off on Jan. 30 when Bayville Intermediate and Bayville Primary School students attended an assembly program with circus performers Andrew Scharff and Rob Lok from the National Circus Project. They marveled as they showcased a myriad of circus skills, including juggling, yo-yo tricks, plate spinning, balance acts and more.

The students worked throughout the remainder of the week to learn a different circus talent, which they showcased during a performance for family and friends on Feb. 3.
