GSLS Spring Play
Alice in Wonderland Junior
| The Spring Play "Alice in Wonderland Jr." was a delightful event attended by families, teachers, staff, and friends. We are so proud of our children!
Adapted from the popular Disney movie, this stage version of the musical was filled with all the classic characters from the Cheshire Cat to the Queen of Hearts, and has songs from the original award-winning score. This fun, funky and fantastical adventure through Wonderland teaches the importance of being happy with yourself.
Many thanks to the parents and middle school students who created this performance by handling the many details of costumes, hair, make-up, sets and props, videography, choreography, sound, lighting design and promotion. Thank you to GSLS 7th grade student Alex Baldwin for making the Queen of Hearts costume and assisting with wardrobe and make-up and to Peter Hunt for stepping in at the last minute on Saturday night to replace ailing Austin Marshall.
And our congratulations and respect to the spirited 3rd, 4th & 5th grade students who brought the characters of the musical to life and touched our hearts.

3rd Annual Elementary Speech Festival
1st-5th grades
| |
| 3rd Annual
Elementary Speech Festival
Our Speech
Festival is held to encourage the study and appreciation for poetry and other
writings, and to develop public speaking skills. Each child will choose a work
to memorize and present it to their class. Students will select
their material for their particular grade level with their teacher.
The
majority of work on the speeches is to be done at home.
Students should be prepared to give their speeches in front of their own
classes the week of May 30 - June 4. Your classroom teacher will give you
additional details.
Several
students from each class will have the opportunity to perform at an assembly in
the church sanctuary on Monday, June 7th at 11:00AM. Each teacher
will use their own criteria for selecting the students who will perform on June
7th. Parents are welcome to attend.
Please
encourage your child, as we will in school, to create interest in their
presentation by speaking fluently, clearly, and loudly, using
inflection and changes in pace and volume, making eye contact, and maintaining
good posture.
We want
this to be a fun and rewarding experience for your child. Please be realistic
in your expectations. God bless you and your family in this
chance to grow!
Guidelines
1. Before and
after the students say their piece they should state the title, and the
author's name, if known.
For the Bible
category students should state the reference and translation. Students will not
summarize their piece.
2. All
presentations must be memorized (notes are not permitted).
3. Students
may not present a selection they did last year.
4. Clothing
should in no way be related to the selection, so as to be misconstrued as
costuming. Costumes and/or props are not permitted in any of the categories.
5. Students
should dress nicely and present their pieces formally and thoughtfully.
6. This is a speech festival, not a speech meet.
There will be no judges.

K-7 ARTSONIA WEBSITE
|
www.Artsonia.com
Artsonia is the largest student art museum in the world! Every child can have an online art gallery, preserving their masterpieces for all time!
The story of Artsonia began with a dream that artwork created from kids around the world can be shared and enjoyed by everyone. If kids say the darndest things, imagine what they draw! Today, due to the passion of thousands of art teachers worldwide, that dream has come true.
| Our Artsonia Website is up and running and we are uploading GSLS art work as fast as we can! Please register your child to be a participant in this very exciting site. We already have an artist with an award and fan clubs are being formed.
The best part about the website is you can order your child's art work imprinted onto many different items such as note cards, greeting cards, coffee mugs, tee shirts and mousepads. You can help raise funds for the school arts program as Artsonia will donate 15% of every purchase of art keepsakes to the school arts program.
