Fifth-graders at Hampden Meadows School cut a ribbon on their 'Green Garden' planted outside the school.

29 Hampden Meadows School students dance Tuesday night on the Providence Performing Arts Center stage.
More than two dozen Hampden Meadows School students got a chance to dance at PPAC (Providence Performing Arts Center) Tuesday night. The opportunity came through the program called Chance to Dance, said Sarah O’Brien, a parent. “You can check out their website for information on their mission,” she said.
