Spring Concert 2010
On Sunday, Village School held its Spring Concert at The Haven at First and Market. The woodwind choir, chorus, and orchestra all gave beautiful performances. Together they did a rendition of Cold Play’s “Viva la Vida.” The 8th grade then presented their song followed by the whole school, along with some audience members, singing the “Village School Song.” The program ended with dances performed by each class. It was a wonderful afternoon of performing arts.

Upcoming Drama Performances
Next week, the 5th and 6th graders will present their drama performances.
The 5th grade play is about an opera singing pig named Percival. Percival must go to London and become a star. Along the way he gets help from turkeys, chickens, and sheep. In the end, Percival ends up exactly where he wants to be. –Nell Fountain
The 6th grade is putting on a performance of the classic Alice in Wonderland. Everybody has had a great time acting and working with our teacher, Ms Leal. We also got to make our own puppets for an enjoyable puppet show in between the scenes of the main play. We hope you can come and see the amazing 6th grade play! –Elizabeth Zimmermann

Jambalaya Two-Mile Fun Run
Students, little sisters and brothers, older siblings, and parents all came out to show their support for Jambalaya by running and volunteering for the Jambalaya Two-Mile Fun Run. Everyone had a blast weaving through downtown neighborhoods, getting some exercise, eating Spudnuts, and enjoying a sense of community.

Jambalaya Feast and Square Dance
On Saturday night at Christ Church, taste buds were tantalized with many different jambalaya creations. All were unique and all were delicious. After feasting on the southern classic, square dancing started upstairs. A caller led the dancers through the steps while the band accompanied with fantastic old-time music. Thank you to Heather Warren for beautifully organizing the whole event. What a fun night!
