Stand Up! Stand Out!

Today we held our end-of-PARP celebration with a performance by Theater Three. "Stand Up! Stand Out! The Bullying Project" was a puppet-and-people show, based upon storybook characters such as The Three Little Pigs, Alice in Wonderland and the Wizard of Oz. Everyone enjoyed the show! Thanks so much to the South Manor PTA for sponsoring this entertaining and informative production! 




Family Sing-along

On Thurday evening, we held our annual Family Sing-along. We enjoyed singing and dancing under the direction of our music teacher, Mrs. Carol McNeill. Our favorite songs included selections from the Sound of Music and Frozen.
