Wizard of Oz

Our little Scarecrow shined like a superstar this week in the school's traditional production of The Wizard of Oz.

 

Wizard is now an after-school program for second-graders, rather than an in-school activity for first-graders, as it was when Cora took part. Cora's first-grade teacher, Mrs.Vasquez, runs the whole thing, teaching two casts after school for the past two months.

Violet has loved her experience, and practiced after school twice a week because the main characters went to both weekly practices.

Violet really did an outstanding job as the Scarecrow. She performed her lines well, stayed in character, and sang with her solo with a sweet, clear voice. We are so, so proud of her!

After the play, the children received the bricks we helped make - Stace cut and painted them all, while I and the girls helped a group of moms and kids with pasting on the photos and tying on the tags.

Here's the cast from Violet's production!

The children did a dress rehearsal for the school on Monday, and Cora was very proud of her little sister! All this brought back happy memories from Cora's time in Wizard, when she was Dorothy.
