OCS Showcse

It was a lively, excellent program the teachers and students put on last evening at the school gym.

The kids were excited and seemed very happy.

The skipping part was finished when I arrived but Beverly said it was good...noisy and fun.

Lots of colourful ropes. 
Smaller students were up and sitting in the risers with their ukeleles.
Their teacher was sitting on the floor facing them...great idea. 
 



The childrens music and actions drew us in and we sure enjoyed it.
