The fifth-grade students at Llewellyn Elementary perform a play every year in the spring. Aaron's teacher wrote the script many moons prior and has expanded on it over the years. It mashes together various historical events (surrounding the American Revolution) with some contemporary humor, told in a Christmas Carol fashion. Aaron drew the role of George Washington and was excited to perform. He memorized all of his lines and delivered them with gusto. He seemed to be on cloud 9 after performing and had trouble calming down--he was that excited. Most of the kids did a great job (Edward and I snagged front-row seats, so we had unobstructed views and could hear the kids better), and a few performed marvelously. I'm biased, but I think I would add Aaron to that latter category.
Our kids have been attending this school for five school years now, but it never amazes me how much parent participation I see--the venue was packed 15 minutes before the curtain rose. I find this encouraging, as the community really pulls together to make these events great.
