Many families turned out for the Friday evening performance of Dinosaurs Before Dark, a show put on by our younger students. Just as they did for the dress rehearsal earlier in the day, the students performed brilliantly. They knew their lines, sang loudly and moved with confidence. The audience seemed impressed. In addition to the director, Ms. Katelynn Maher, the work of many adults and older students on this production deserve appreciation. Both the cast and support crew worked on the production since mid-September.

On the following night, Saturday, there was a Jeep parade through the city with roughly 50 jeeps. That too was popular.

In the previous classroom robot experience students learned to program a motor to rotate a little plastic cross back and forth at different speeds. In this class, the students made spoon characters to attach to those crosses. The back and forth mechanism would show off the the little characters. 12-8-2023
