Parents, family members, and friends packed the ACS gym on April 21 for our K-3rd grade Elementary Spring Concert. The instrumental, vocal, and acting skills of our students were on display as they performed on recorders, sang songs that celebrated the power and love of God, and presented the musical “Puzzle Puppy.”

Five students were featured in the musical’s skits — 3rd grader Kambriella Rogers as Detective Puzzle Puppy, 3rd grader Grace Petrinec as the Cat, 3rd grader Victoria Rosario as the Mole, 3rd grade Chloe Capito as Pixie Poodle, and 2nd grader Carson Myers as the Police Dog. Four 2nd graders — Jayce Bird, Sadie Brossman, Harleigh Kraus, and Jaxson Silva — sang in the Drama Chorus. Interspersed with the skits, students in the 1st-3rd grades presented songs to tell the story of Detective Puzzle Puppy investigating the case of Pixie Poodle’s missing puppy treats.

The kindergarten classes closed the concert with two praise and worship songs — “Super Wonderful” by Little Praise Party and Yancy” and “Children of God” by Saddleback Kids. Congratulations to faculty members Tim Rosie and Julie Zimmer for doing an excellent job teaching and directing our elementary music program this year.

Thank you also to faculty member Rhapsody Hahn-Chaney and the students in her after-school Costume Design Workshop for creating and making the charming costumes for the actors in the musical skits.
