Friends in Mrs. Stout's and Mrs. Milne's kindergarten class performed the not so quiet, "Peace and Quiet" play.
The kindergarten tradition of performing "Peace and Quiet," a traditional Jewish Folktale from Eastern Europe, started in 2012. Kindergarten students that year asked to create a performance after reading the tale and the rest is history! The "Peace and Quiet" play has been a favorite spring activity for kindergarten ever since! The first students to perform this play are now in 10th grade! This year, the play was performed three times! We hope you were lucky enough to catch a performance during the school day or on VIP Day. They did an AMAZING job!
The kindergarten read this story and learned the morale that "it could always be worse" or too noisy! It’s a good reminder to appreciate what we have, because things can always be worse!
Our favorite part of the tradition: Watching different siblings perform each year.
