It is show week!

Today begins one of the busiest and productive times in out Middle School- Show week! We are blessed that we have the opportunity to work on the Middle School show, Alice in Wonderland Jr., during the course of our school day- it is our way of working together as an entire Middle School community for one collective goal.
You will see lots of things happening this week- actors trying on costumes, the set going up on stage, out bulletin board getting put up outside our theatre, props being put on prop tables on stage, and lights being hung and programmed. Everything comes together this week. It is crazy but it amazes me at the same time.
I am amazed that the entire group of middle schoolers come and work together. In this process kids are not divided by grade, they make a choice of what they would like to explore in the area of Theatre. They are mixed up in different grades and help each other out. When the Cast and crew take their bow at the end of the show, you realized that every Middle Schooler at Allendale Columbia School has done something to make the show happen. It is a sight to see! I am amazed but not surprised!
And I am forever grateful to my colleagues, who only do this once a year, yet are enthusiastic to help with this huge task that makes us different from other schools.
The buzz will be in the Middle School this week! Stay tuned!
