Our talented K-5 students sang, danced, played the recorder, and made a joyful sound on a variety of instruments as part of the 4th and 5th grade band performances at the Elementary Spring Concert May 3 in the school gym. The 1st and 2nd grade students stole the show during the second half of the evening, presenting the farmyard-themed musical “E-I-E-I Oops!” Following the concert, the audience toured the Elementary Spring Art Show, which featured student artwork created out of cardboard, bubble wrap, and other recycled materials. One of the bulletin boards (pictured below) displayed crosses made by the kindergarten classes out of bottle caps and egg cartons.
During the concert, some 600 parents, family members, and friends in the audience laughed, clapped, and tapped their feet as the 1st and 2nd grade students took them on a trip to see Farmer MacDonald and a whole barnyard of singing animals. There were lost sheep, pigs “hamming it up,” turkeys, ducks, and much more, with students dressed in colorful costumes custom-made by elementary music director Shirlene Perini. Congratulations to Mrs. Perini and Choral and Instrumental Music Director Jaron Beadle for a very entertaining concert that celebrated God’s handiwork as seen in the variety of animals He created.
The Elementary Art Show, with the theme of “Being Good Stewards — The Art of Recyling,” is on display until the May 23 6th-12th Grade Spring Concert. Thank you to ACS Art Teacher Sherry Mirakian for helping shape our students’ creative talents.
