nappy smile to put your world back into perspective, and that’s what happened to me last week.
As most families are aware, this time of year is extremely busy for schools. Enrollment for the next year is in full swing, end-of-this-year exams are looming, graduation is only weeks away, and spring fever has struck students and teachers alike. So it’s no wonder that tempers are short, and everyone feels over-loaded. Last Wednesday was Administrative Professionals Day, formerly Secretary’s Day. It was humbling to realize that others value what we in the school offices do, and it made us all sit a little straighter and take another phone call with good grace.
• Amid the chaos, WCDS presented its annual Spring Concert and Art Show. Sweet, clear voices floated throughout the auditorium, and beaming parents watched as their young children sang from the heart, as only children can do. With a patriotic theme behind it, the Spring Concert brought out the best in all of us, as we hummed along with the students. Mrs. Evelyn Oyster, Music Director at WCDS, worked tirelessly rehearsing. She sewed until the wee hours in the morning on the huge flag that hung at the back of the stage.
Talented musicians Mr. Tony Lambiasi (trumpet), Michelle and Nicole Fegeas (guitars), Mrs. Patty Kewer (guitar), Mrs. Lorraine Espinola (guitar), and pianist Emily Yates added the background music for many of the songs. “Taps”, played by Mr. Lambiasi was haunting. After the show, families wandered throughout the lower lobby, admiring the artwork. How truly amazing these children are! It made all of the week’s irritations disappear, as I wandered from picture to picture. Beautiful use of color and textures highlighted the creativity of the Art students, surprising many parents.
