Bryker Woods PTA

The 5th grade Night Light Studios produced “Il Trittico del Lupo”, (Three Stories of the Wolf) featuring three one-act operas, all from the perspective of the wolf. They were directed by our music teacher, Melody Long.  Mrs. Irwin’s class did “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs”, Ms. Boreing’s class did “Li’l Red”, Mrs. Spain’s class did “The Wolf Who Cried Boy”.  The studio members adapted the stories, wrote the script, designed and constructed the stage, composed the music and wrote the lyrics, designed the costumes and make-up,  handled the publicity and website, managed the backstage, and performed.  Click to view their website.

On Election Day, Bryker Woods 5th graders conducted a school-wide mock election. Here are photos of the event.  You can see student voters going through the voting process after standing in (a short) line with their class, and 5th graders serving as election officials.  The 5th graders validated voter registration cards and stamped them, directed student voters to the voting booths and ballot box, and gave them an “I voted” sticker after the ballots were casted.  Afterwards the 5th graders tallied the results in their classrooms.  Curious about the results?  Landslide:  Barack Obama took all 145 electoral votes.  The popular vote was 48 for McCain and 338 for Obama.  One write-in vote was illegible.
