Co-op Presentation Night

On April 28th, CALVARY co-op had it's fifth annual Presentation Night. The Carlsons were highly involved, particularly since Sheryl, along with Bethany Seiter, was the main organizer. After weeks of much planning, the evening was an amazing success. All the families stayed after co-op for a pizza dinner and practice. Then at 7 pm, we all gathered into the auditorium for the main event! Over 16 classes from the adorable Pre-K and Kindergarteners to the High school Seniors gave presentations. Andrew's Science class made a dramatic entry and then shared several things that they had learned. Following the more studious presentation, his speech class acted out and recited "The Jaberwockey." (Below is the tum tum tree.)


Sheryl's classes were also well represented. For Formal Logic, the students dressed formally and in polished British accents discussed

logical and not so logical subjects!
Then, as the highlight of the evening, the Spanish I and Spanish II classes joined and regaled the audience with The Wizard of Oz in Spanish. Sheryl played Miss Gulch and then the Evil Witch of the West. (Below are pictures of her trying to steal Dorothy's dog, and
another one of her escaping after a heated encounter with Glinda.)
As a last minute addition to the program, Julie's Rhetoric class pulled together a dramatic interpretation of the "Saint Crispian's Day Speech" from Henry V by William Shakespeare. The Seniors then ended the progam with their "Twelve Weeks of Co-op" (see a previous blog entry) and a more poignant attempt at "The Irish Blessing."
The enjoyable evening concluded in dessert and fellowship - and as Mama Carlson always says, "Fun was had by all!"
