Yesterday, in the Bowen-Thomas Theater, our exuberant 1st graders performed their annual musical, Go Fish. The audience was reminded of a few simple lessons our own school seeks to embody. As our talented Dr. Crissman orchestrated a brightly costumed school of fish ranging from a tiger shark to a zebra fish (even an octopus and an eel for good order!) across the stage in spirited song and dance, many of the lyrics resonated. The colors of the sea-run together so naturally! And another one simply reminded us that Being different is nice! These are enduring principles, and yesterday’s colorful performance offered us a gentle affirmation of what distinguishes Calverton’s own culture.
At a moment where there's still fracture over the pandemic and its range of perspectives and now as strife rains upon Ukraine, a few simple sentiments like the ones sung yesterday by some of our youngest Cougars center us with some shared values of respect and inclusion. Leave it to our 1st grade to teach us a few of life’s biggest lessons!
I hope you enjoy this month’s Cougar Connection!
