Combs Elementary Holds Inaugural Ball

Inauguration ceremonies for President Riley Martin are planned for Tuesday, Jan. 20. The Combs Elementary Inaugural Ball will be held at Centennial Campus Middle School. Martin, a fifth grader, will be administered the oath of office by Judge Larry Miller. Her cabinet of class delegates will march in through the school's flags of the world and then students will dance. In PE class, they have been learning dances that fit with their studies. For example, the fourth graders who study NC History will be shagging. The Inaugural Ball is the most formal event at Combs, a magnet school with a leadership theme. School administrators say the school will have instructional activities that help students see the link between their inaugural activities and the inauguration of Barak Obama as U.S. President.
