Our field trip to see Peter and the Wolf was wonderful! The children arrived early in the morning and the energy and excitement was felt as soon as the children entered the classroom. The excitement was felt throughout Lower School as all of the children prepared for the excursion to Camden ! This was our first Lower School field trip and this community based experience supported one of our most important goals we have set for ourselves this year; that of building community .

We boarded the school bus and were so happy to share the bus with our 2nd grade and kindergarten friends. The children enjoyed a snack on the bus and the ride was filled with conversations and pleasure. The children truly loved the bus ride experience ; both ways of the trip! The children were well prepared for the concert and performance and were engaged from the moment it started. This was a very 'big kid' thing to do and the children beamed with pride as they sat amongst the large group of AFS students in the audience.

Lori Saidi, our Middle School Music teacher who teaches strings to Middle and Upper school students as well as teaches violin as part of our enrichment program to Lower School students, was performing with Symphony in C ~Peter and the Wolf. Having the opportunity to celebrate the gifts of one of our own faculty members was very special.

The story of Peter and the Wolf was told in a delightful , comical and most creative way. The children were captured in every moment and seemed to love both the musical and the story telling parts of the performance. This was certainly an experience that will stay with us for a very long time...
