West End School performs Annie Jr. – by Barbara Habeeb

I had the extreme pleasure of attending the Thursday evening performance of Annie Jr. put on by the elementary students at West End School. What an outstanding show! It was obvious that a lot of time and effort went into the production of this show.

 

Principal Beth Sobel was beaming as she watched these children perform. I too, was very impressed. The children were so cute and they sang beautifully. Alyssa Totten had the leading role as Annie. She did a spectacular job! As an elementary music teacher I don’t get impressed easily, so you can be sure this was something special.

 

I commend the teachers who took time out of their busy schedules to do the after school rehearsals, and I give credit to the children who gave their time as well. This is the kind of project that makes a school come together. It brings a sense of self esteem for all the children who participated, and a sense of pride for the whole school. I am glad to see good things coming out of North Plainfield Schools. Excellent job!
