May 4, 2012

We're awaiting the arrival of the "Annie"cast. They should be here within the hour; it is the last performance. I'd like to congratulate the students on their talent, confidence and commitment to the arts. They have worked so hard over the last few months and they should feel proud of themselves. When talking to some of the kids lately, they didn't even know they liked performing until this opportunity; isn't that why we continue to provide these experiences to the students! As a teacher, those comments are priceless.  I'd like to thank Mrs. Stefanowicz, Mrs. Sheppard, Mrs. Whale, Mrs. Zappi, Mrs. Younger, Mrs. Olson, Mrs. Adair, Ms. Sunde, Ms. Moser, Mrs. McGee, Mr. Samotowka and finally Ms. Hoffman for making this year's production of Annie a success. Mrs. Finney and Mrs. King also need to be thanked for contributing to props, costumes and music. As parents, we know that you are so busy with your own lives, so we really appreciate your efforts.

It's been a busy week with Annie, track and field, soccer, cricket, dental screening, pizza lunch (Friday) and the much anticipated Springfest on Saturday. I think we are all going to take a deep breath on Sunday.

Hope to see you this weekend!
