I recently wrote about the student/teacher written play my enrichment class completed. We took it from an idea to the stage and they did a smashing job. They created the names for their characters, their personalities and brought them to life. This is the actual play. All rights belong to Kim Miller and her Third Grade Enrichment Class.
