Today celebrated our students and teachers and all of their hard work over the past year with a pep rally. The theme - The Wizard of STAAR. See the pictures below! A great time was had by all - there was much cheering and clapping!
A huge thanks to Ms. Clanton for putting this all together and for an outstanding job in her role of the
wicked witch.
Muchas Gracias to San Juana Ledezma, Melinda Wood, and Maria Rangel for their roles as strategy models for the Wizard and to Ms. Scott for running our lights and sound.
A special thanks to Ms. Tracy Copeland for joining me as a Lollipop Kid to open the show.
Kudos for fabulous performances to our actors and actresses:
Tiffany Madrid as Dorothy
Debbie Strand as The Tin Man
Orlando Carrillo as The Wizard of STAAR
Christina Sellers as The Scarecrow
Cal Chapa as the Cowardly Lion
Lety Gerred as The Narrator
Mrs. Green rounded out our performance and led our parade as Glinda Green the Good Witch of Daggett Elementary.
Highlights of the show:
The Wicked Witch appears to Dorothy and her friends - Tin Man, Scarecrow and Lion - as they travel on their way to OZ. Her Wickedness tells our heroes that she will make sure Dorothy and her friends never pass the STAAR test so she can get her hands on Dorothy's ruby red slippers and the Kingdom of OZ. Oh My!
Dorothy and her friends escape the witch and make it to Oz where they talk to the great and powerful Wizard of STAAR. He reminds our heroes that they have had all they need to pass the STAAR inside them all along and reminds them of the 5 strategies they have learned:
1 - Read Carefully
2 - Show Your Thinking
3 - Check Your Work
4- Look Back to Prove Answers
5 - Do Your Best - Give 100%
Good Luck to all of our students! You are prepared, show what you know!
We are so proud of all of our teachers and students for all of the hard work they have put into learning all year long. Listen to the wisdom of the Wizard of STAAR - you've had what you need to pass inside you all along.
