Simmons Middle School dance team performs at The Bell Center

The Simmons Middle School Dance Team performed at The Bell Center for Early Intervention’s annual Tailgate Challenge on Aug. 27. The event had teams competing for the best tailgate tent. One of the dance team members, Allie Simmons, is a graduate of the program.

The Bell Center for Early Intervention provides intervention services in a center-based program in Birmingham. Infants and toddlers who are at risk for developmental delay receive services from a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, a speech-language pathologist and an early childhood special education teacher as each child works on specific, individual developmental goals.

The dance team members, made up of seventh and eighth-grade students, include Kirsten Estes, Annabelle Morrison, Kashyra Myhand, Kaelin Pettit, Haley Robinson, Allie Simmons and Kayva Young. They are led by advisor Amy Thorington.
