greek play performances

were put on by the 6th graders yesterday.
i was amazed at the confidence and memorization skills of these kids.
so wonderful to see them so comfortable around each other and in front of an audience.
they're really a great group of kids.

there were about 5 groups.  each put on about a 15-20 minute play.
they were all ancient love stories with a bit of comedy mixed in.
romantic, interesting, and entertaining stories.
and they were all very good actors and actresses.
after each one john would ask, 'can we stay for another one?'.

i know i've said it before but it's just so neat seeing these kids grow up together.
it has sure flown by...i remember meeting each of them in kindergarten.
some we even knew before that.
i cannot believe they are half way through the 6th grade!!
i think i might need a tissue...
