Tomorrow culminates a very busy week for me at school. Every year our school (which has an Arts instructional focus) puts on a HUGE production. You might remember a few years ago when DS 4 was in the Jungle Book. He "skipped" last year's production and then got involved again this year for the "Greatest Show on Earth". He was in the clown troupe and loved learning from a "real" Ringling Bros. clown! Here are a couple of pics of him in costume and on stage in the "bucket brigade".
My room has been a dressing room/holding room while we've waited to go on stage this week. This has made for some very interesting photo ops.
The kids had a ball. The teachers are WORN OUT! I have to say, though, I am so thankful that I work in a place that does this sort of thing. It helps kids discover avenues to exercise their creativity and opportunities to showcase their talents.
In addition to our arts focus, we have several families who have traveled (or still travel) with major circuses in our country. One of the neat tributes in this show was a film highlighting photos and video footage of these families in their circus performances.
Two of the families even had their children perform special acts. The Suarez family juggled. And the Wallenda's (of the famous "Flying Wallendas") did tightrope. Isn't that neat?
