Lemonade

As an A+ Magnet School for Visual and Performing Arts, musicals, performances, and exhibits are part of our regular routines and events.
Third grade classes, under the direction of the Arts Team, performed “Lemonade,” the Musical, after working on it since the beginning of school. They sang, danced, and acted out, (as nursery rhyme characters,) the concept, “when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.”

Lemonade, composed by John Higgins and John Jacobson created a "fairytale frenzy" when Chicken Little, the Three Little Pigs, Humpty Dumpty, the Cat with a fiddle, Little Bo Peep, Little Boy Blue and other characters have a bad day!  Mother Goose helps however.
This musical brought all the Arts together, as the whole Arts Team collaborated, and empowered students to take on aspects of the whole program from helping with props and backdrops and of course acting and performing.


 
We want to offer a special thanks for our PTA board who helped tremendously with costumes.
