Throw Back to the Winter Holiday Season: "The Grumps of Ring-a-Ding Town"

For this year's Winter Musical, first and second graders performed "The Grumps of Ring-a-Ding Town" by John Jacobson & John Higgins and helped get everyone in the spirit for the winter holidays and break.

"The bells of ol' Ring-A-Ding Town have stopped ringing because the townspeople have completely lost their holiday spirit. With all of the pressures of the season, they have become so grumpy that even the bells refuse to ring. When a severe winter storm pounds the village with ice, wind and snow, the grumpy citizens are reminded how much they need each other and how rewarding it can be to share and care for one another in the true spirit of the season. When peace, love and joy returns, the bells of Ring-A-Ding Town begin to ring again."

Students sang and danced while 5th grade Dance TAG students narrated the scene changes. Directors Mr. Mullikin, the music/orchestra teacher and Miss Allison, the dance teacher, led the students in keeping the audience laughing and smiling. The stage was adorned with snowflakes created by student artists and art teacher, Ms. Sledge, while Mr. Sigler and Mr. Mitchell managed sound and music.
