School House Rock.......Rocked!!!

This week-end our school was filled with excitement and pride.  The Drama Club presented School House Rock and what a show it was!  Just ask anyone who was there....and there were many as both shows were sold out!  The students learned so much about working hard and being part of something big, but this year's show was particularly rich with academics.  Students  had to study, rehearse lines, practice choreography but the entire show was immersed in curriculum content.   The performances were just amazing!  Mrs. Whitcomb and Mrs. Hemenway were the directors and their work with children is truly a gift.  I thank them for sharing their talents and passion for drama.  This year we did a third show during the school day on Monday for students who were unable to attend one of the evening shows.  We also extended the invite the our senior friends and neighbors at the Briar Cliff Lodge.  Mayor Kennedy graciously accepted out invite and we were thrilled that she could make it.  School Committee Member Vinny Spirito, former Principal of Lynn Woods School, also took time to come by and see our show.  Thank you both!
