"The Cheese Stands Alone"

"The Cheese Stands Alone" featuring Noah and the entire 3rd grade class! Last night, the 3rd graders performed for their family and friends an amazing musical! The musical opened with "The Farmer and the Dell" as an introduction to the characters. As the story progresses "The Cheese" begins to feel left out because "The Rat" can only be friends with her when her friends aren't watching. "The Cheese" gave an outstanding solo performance of "Alone Again"--stating how sad it is to always be alone and without friends. "The Cheese" receives a telegram stating that her family is going to visit. She's excited and states that "they're aged and she can smell them from far away". The Family--including various cheeses--helps "The Cheese" understand that it's OK to be different and that we should be recognized and accepted for our differences. Of course, they are concerned that "The Rat" could become a little fatter by befriending "The Cheese", but they still give her the courage to confront "The Rat" about her feelings. "The Rat" apologizes and assures her that he's "lactose intolerant" and their friendship blossoms. The stage was decorated as a farm and the props were amazing! All of the students did a wonderful job--the chorus and performers were outstanding! The children were asked to wear "farm clothes" and Noah played the part with his flannel shirt and overalls (thanks Pam!) If I can figure out how to add a video--I'll share some of the performance.
