Clowning around is OK -- at least for a day -- at Taylor Parks!

Some days, it's time for a test. Others, time to paint a picture, practice math or be challenged by a science project. Elementary school days are busy times, but some days can be better than others.

DeanO T. Clown recently paid a visit to Taylor Parks Elementary School, thanks to a collaboration between the Taylor School District and The Harbor, a non-profit organization that offers arts and other cultural enrichment programs.

The pupils were entertained by the clown's comedic and magical performances. DeanO T. Clown combined with the children for a short, interactive display of juggling, magic and balloon art.

So, if you were driving past the school and heard some loud laughter, blame it on DeanO!
