This week has been filled with excitement over the Junior Prep's production of "Cinderella and the Frog Prince." They have been working on this for months on end and it was finally here. The students did amazingly well; I was absolutely blown away at how well such young children were able to act, sing, and dance on stage in front of so many people!
The mornings before the play were consumed with costumes, make-up, and hair - I think I did about 50 french braids in 3 days! Wednesday they performed for the Senior Prep boys as well as the DSG girls in Grades 4-7. Thursday's performance was for some of the other schools in the area and Friday was the big day...they performed for all of their parents and had their "mini-feast" afterwards. It was absolutely adorable! I don't know who was more excited, the parents or the kids!
This is another one of the ways that I feel like the school really strives to make well-rounded students, participating in all sports, academics, as well as music and theater. Although not every student is good at every activity, at least they are given the opportunity to find out what they enjoy and are good at. Sometimes in the States I feel like students choose 1 or 2 things that they think they enjoy and forget about everything else. What if there is something else they would like more or be better at and they never discover it?
