Anderson students showcase talent at music and art show

Anderson Early Childhood Center students were proud to show off their work at the school’s annual music and art show in late April. Art students had their original works on display, including painted pieces and pottery bowls or fish, then the kindergarten students sang and joked their way into the hearts of their audience of family members and supporters. The theme, “Silly Songs and Jokes,” gave the children an opportunity to laugh and make their audience laugh. Some of the selections they presented were “Little Bunny Foo-Foo,” “I’m Being Swallowed by a Boa Constrictor,” “Rip, Rip, Rip Your Pants” (to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”), and “Never Smile at a Crocodile,” from “Peter Pan.” The show’s printed program included the lyrics, and music teacher Ginger Cunningham said that some were going to enjoy singing these songs at home with their kids.
 

Entertainer thrills Anderson students with magic and song

Terry Hodges presented his “The Pro Kids Show” to Anderson students Thursday, April 26, and had them laughing and singing along and believing his message of “character counts.” He also used magic to bring his message home, including students and teachers in his act. This enrichment program was one of the school’s Family Friendly projects. Hodges presented two performances during the day and one that night for students and their families.
