From a Parent:
Good Afternoon,
I was at the 4th grade musical this morning to see my son perform. All the kids did such an amazing job!
What really stood out to me though was the aid (?) that helped the elf on the left side of the stage. She looked so sweet as she helped him out and sang along. It was so nice that she did that and gave that child’s parents a chance to come and watch him perform too. I remember her from last year’s show as well.
I didn’t know her name to be able to send her a message. I just wanted someone to know that her obvious love for that child was seen and appreciated. You have an incredible staff!
Have a Merry Christmas,
Erin Pope
From a CAMP Teacher:
Grateful to Greg for willingly and enthusiastically taking on the important role of Santa during the 4th grade musical. Thank you Greg!
Reindeer on Campus
Also kudos to our reindeer who made an appearance in the 2:00 performance. Alyssa, what a great supporting role!
