Dear Friends,
An incredible and inspirational evening was shared by all when the 5th Grade students of P.S. 132 presented "Everyday Heroes" in our school auditorium.
Under the guidance of professional TADA! teaching artists and the amazing 5th Grade teachers, 5th Grade students wrote and performed an original musical based upon heroes, a unit of study in their character education program. It was decided by the 5th Grade students to use their performance as a venue to honor Everyday Heroes from the Greenpoint/Williamsburg Community. Their show was dedicated to a local fallen hero, Daniel F. Pudjak.
For 18 weeks, our students became fully emersed in all aspects of writing and performing a musical. Many long hours were dedicated to practice, set, costume and prop design. The end result was simply magnificant!
On the night of the performance, our auditorium was crowded with proud parents, staff members, teachers, community friends, and of course, Local Everyday Heroes. Students presented our everyday local heroes with honorary awards on behalf of our school community. Local precincts, firehouses, councilmembers and our community superintendent were honored. The students did an incredible job and dazzled the audience with their star studded performance! As their principal, I was simply amazed! Kudos to my 5th Grade teachers and students on a job well done! BRAVO!!!
With Warm Regards!
Ms. Lubeck
