First Philadelphia Preparatory Charter School Musical a Hit

Story and photos from First Philadelphia Preparatory Charter School on Facebook

On Friday, March 29 and Saturday, March 30 our students in grades four through six presented Once On This Island, a one-act musical with a book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and music by Stephen Flaherty

The students did an outstanding job and demonstrated once again how infusing arts into the First Philadelphia curriculum makes such a difference!

Great job to our performers and their families and KUDOS and A HUGE THANK YOU to Ms. Stebich, Ms. Ragonese and Ms. Wible for their hard work preparing the students for this performance.

Have a Good Day

Have a Good Day

Can somebody tell me what happened to thank you, please, and have a good day?

This can’t be like snowflakes and just melt away, this is a tradition we must hold on to each and everyday.

Stop and think how thoughtful it would be to brighten someone’s day, with just a simple smile, and a thank you, and have a good day.

This may be the only thing they need to get them through today, a smile, a thank you, and have a good day.

We must understand that “thank you” can go a long way, to brighten your journey as you travel on your way.

I Remember the First Day of Spring

I Remember

Yes, I remember the first day of spring.

Weeping Willow’s dancing in the breeze.

Frozen lakes and rivers now running free.

Eagles flying high over cherry blossom trees.

It’s at this time when the air is sweet and clean.

It’s like a sweet and tender kiss coming off the ocean breeze.

Little old ladies scrubbing steps on bended knees.

YES-YES

I remember the first day of spring.
