🚨FUN FACT FRIDAY🚨
The Wiggles came to the SMC on February 21, 2007. Did you know that most of the members of The Wiggles have degrees in education? After returning to school to study early childhood education, Anthony decided he wanted to make fun, educational music for children. He worked alongside two of his classmates, Murray and Greg, and his old bandmate, Jeff. They named the band "The Wiggles" because that is often how children dance. They even wrote essays describing why each song was good for kids.
