W shington ’s Weekend
Washington’s Weekend
a
Patriotic Play and Choir!
This year’s school play was “Naughty Susan!” Set on July 8, 1776, in the living room of
a Philadelphia Quaker family. This well-received play centered around the cracking
of the Liberty Bell when it rings for Freedom. The daughter of the Quaker family
blames herself for the damage,
since her hands were on the rope
when it cracked. The Students
followed the short skit with the singing of
“Declaration of Independence.”
Colonial Dancing and lots of laughter!
This year the students of the “I AM” School
showcased three colonial dances—Washington’s
Favorite Cotillion, Oh Susanna, Big Mountain
Circle, and the favorite from last year the Virginia
Reel—before having the rest of the attendees
at Washington’s Weekend join in the merriment
and laughter!
