CLARKSVILLE — The Pink Ladies and T-Birds were “Rockin’ Around the Clock” at the first annual Rockin’ Massie School Carnival and Sock Hop hosted by Clinton-Massie Elementary School.

More than 400 students and their guests were in attendance to celebrate the family-fun community event that celebrated the 1950s.

Students and parents alike donned their poodle skirts, saddle shoes, letter sweaters and leather jackets to embrace the decade. Students participated in carnival games, face painting, photo booths, sock hopping and refreshments as they rocked the day away and allowed 1950s memories to transcend across the generations.

The event, hosted by the Clinton-Massie PTO, is one of many events sponsored to foster the bond between school, family and community.
