Quick Pix As always, it has been a busy few days at Carolina Day. You might be wondering what this sixth grader is doing?
Then you might ask what all of these middle school kids are doing?
They're warming up...
Getting ready....
Stretching...
and starting to rehearse.
Even though the curtain doesn't open until January, these middle school students are already hard at work on their musical production of Once on This Island, Jr. This award-winning musical, a part of the Broadway Junior Collection, will be the next major theatrical production at Carolina Day. Once on This Island first opened on Broadway in 1990. It was nominated for eight Tony Awards.
Once on This Island, Jr. will be presented on January 25 & 26. Add it to your calendar as a must-do. Middle school students aren't the only ones into acting. This week heralded an annual ritual for senior English students. All of the seniors participated in the Canterbury Pilgrimage resplendent in their authentic (more or less) costumes. The students dined on breads, cheeses, grapes, and Welch's sparkling cider before starting on their trek led by teacher Sue Ellen Sims. Usually the walk takes them around the campus and into the neighboring forests. However, a rainy afternoon kept their travels close to home.
At points along their journey, the students stopped to share various Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer.
The seniors visited a couple of classrooms along their journey including bringing a bunch of smiles to this sophomore class.
While middle school students were acting and upper school students were acting--these lower school students were also acting. These PK students were presenting a character education assembly on "integrity" yesterday morning.
They were followed by the first grade.
The fourth graders also contributed to Wednesday's assembly.
And the fifth graders closed the program by leading the entire lower school in a rousing rendition of "Big Heart."
Students aren't the only ones into acting. This morning George Washington made an appearance in the fourth-grade classroom. This time a parent was "on stage." Scott MacGregor enlightened the fourth graders about the life and times of General George Washington. He gave a superb performance.
Enough acting--- Nothing could be better than coming back from the doggie beauty parlor and into the arms and hands and hearts of these Key School students. Chelsea, the dog, loved all the attention. Can you blame her?
