Week of March 29--It's almost spring break!

Last week was a big week in the Upper School, with the Cabaret and the Art Show Opening in the Center. I am happy to report that we had a great turn-out at both events! Muchos gracias to those of you who took the time to come out to support our students. Last night, we had a warm and gracious crowd at the Cabaret. The entertainment was provided by staff and students from the Upper School. Below, you can see some of our students dancing to the tunes of our beloved Old 86. What a talented group of musicians! We are so lucky to have them in our community...and that they are willing to lug all of their equipment to many events at CFS. (Joe and his mom were the last ones out with Joe's drums and keyboard. Thank you, Susan!)

Emma (aka "Norma") and Eric were our fabulous mc's. Here you can see Emma/Norma as she performs "Alleluia." Eric and Miles are busy improvising a song/rap.

Speaking of improv, here are Jonas and Dan in a Ridiculous Improv scene.

Susan and I had fun doing a reading from Free to Be You and Me.

Jamie is always entertaining! Singing and playing the blues, he had us all shouting, "Let's Go Fishing!"

Morgan plays 2 tunes on her mandolin, "the greatest instrument ever invented."

I could listen to Drew all night. He was great playing and singing a Stevie Wonder tune.

We had a few representatives of the Quaker N'Oats--enough to perform I Feel Good, with Emma as our soloist.

Katie wowed the crowd on her clarinet.

Ella brought cousin Celelia to sing with her.

Samantha, Morgan, and Hannah did a cute SNL skit.

Emma, Miles, and Mariah started the show with a beautiful song.

Here is some of Danusha's artwork at the art show. The eye is very deceiving, depending on whether you are close up or far away.

Many visitors came to view the artwork and enjoy the snacks.

As we head towards spring break, our Jewish families will celebrate Passover, which begins at sundown on Monday. We wish them wonderful family time as they celebrate this important holiday. Grandparents Day is Friday morning. Our visiting grandparents will join their grandchildren in their classes. It's back-to-school for our grandparents! Friday is a half-day...and we head off for a well-deserved spring break. I'm not sure who will be first out of the building at noon on Friday--staff or students?! I wish you all a warm and restful spring break.
