A Christmas program like you've never seen before.

Mr. Schmidt outdid himself again!

The Elementary program last night was fantastic and original- for instance, have you ever seen Tinkerbell at a Christmas program? There she is below- (Ted's teacher) along with Captain Hook. 

 And yes, it made sense that she was there-- Tinkerbell and Capt. Hook were looking for a Christmas program, along with other storybook characters- Snow White, Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, etc. - all teachers and school staff. I have to say, it really reflects on the school- the teachers and staff truly work as a team, and are willing to go outside themselves for their students, fellow staff, and for us parents- and they know how to have a good time!

And this fellow- Santa on the Atkin's diet, serenaded the audience while the students were moving on and off the stage. He was super- a great voice, dry humor, and good tunes. He is a new third grade teacher this year- his first year as a teacher.

The director, music teacher Mr. Schmidt, has been doing this for 35 years! And every year the program is different.

And yes, there was a barf incident, right on stage. Last year I interviewed Mr. Schmidt, and he said it's a rare year without someone throwing up, either onstage or in the crowd, or both.
It made it all the better- it was hilarious watching the kids onstage react, holding their noses and avoiding the "spot", while the custodian came and cleaned up.

The holidays have begun!
