Today, we veered off our path and out of our usual routine. We were invited very last minute to see the production of Alice in Wonderland at my son's school which happens to be a few blocks and a short walk from Maple Tree. We were excited to go and I was unsure about whether or not is was a good idea. Wow, was it ever a good idea! The children were super excited and it made for a very fun adventure. I was also thinking how nice this was for some of our older children who will be leaving us this fall to go to their new "Big" school to see this special production.
I must say we were delighted with the response from the children. The musical was an hour long and the children sat glued to the show the entire time. Not only was the production well put together musically speaking but visually the set was beautiful and you felt like you were in the forest with Alice.
There were questions asked by a few in very soft whispers and delight with the singing and dancing.
I was thinking about how these older children we were watching were brave putting on this show and being out there and what awesome mentors they are for our younger children especially the ones who feel shy and have a harder time putting themselves out there.
At the end of the show when it was time to go the children got to meet all girls who played the various parts of Alice (to watch this was sweet as they were in such awe). Thank You Ecole St. Catherine's School for a wonderful morning!
