Yo-Yo Man walks the dog at Oak View

Students at Oak View Elementary were treated to a special holiday

assembly on Friday sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Huntington Beach.

“It was a really good day for the kids,” said Principal Karen

Catabijan.

In addition to a visit by Santa Claus, children were treated to a

performance by Yo-Yo Man, Huntington Beach resident John Lewis. The

performer demonstrated several tricks, including such stand-bys as

“walk the dog,” “rocking the baby” and “around the world.” At the end

of the show, students were given a goodie bag stuffed with a coloring

book, candy and a yo-yo, along with instructions to perform the

tricks they saw in the show.

Yo-Yo Man’s show was popular with Oak View students, and community

liaison Sherri Medrano said she hopes he will return in the future.

“This is the first year that Yo-Yo Man came,” Medrano said. “We

hope that continues.”
