I have really enjoyed the girls school. They go to a Charter school in Tucson and I feel like they are getting a great education. On top of that, the girls have been able to be involved in many things. Every year they plan on putting on a musical. The music teacher has a background in doing children's theater. In May they performed Annie. We all got involved. Olivia and Maya were in the Chorus, Alexa helped backstage and I shopped for props, bought fabric, sewed and altered costumes, painted sets, helped backstage and had a great time getting to know some dedicated and wonderful moms. It was quite an education for me also on how stressful and how much work just goes in to pulling something like this off. Especially with such a tiny budget. People really stepped up to help out. It was an experience to say the least. I was worn out by the end, I can't imagine how the teacher felt. Here are some pictures and video clips of the performances. The kids really did a great job. This was a first for a lot of them.
I helped with these orphan costumes.
Maya's little speaking part.

This girl did great. She has such a strong voice.

NYC. Maya is in the red polka dot dress next to the clown and Olivia is in a green dress to the right of Annie. She gave up a darling dress that we found so that Annie could wear it for one of the scenes. That's just how she is - just goes with the flow. Such a sweetheart.
Rooster is my favorite character. Love that he used an accent and everything.
After the show!
Such a fun time for the girls. I think they are looking forward to the next one.
