A STAR in the Making!

It's still hard for me to believe that my baby girl is in 3rd grade already!  She attends a GREAT school and I am SO proud of how well she is doing.  The class work they are performing already is mind-blowing - fractions, percentages, long division, complex multiplication, complicated spelling words, and so much more!  

Then there is the fun side of attending a Magna Arts school...afternoon electives and their yearly play.  And, this is no small-fry school play.  Corridor's play is put on at the Hult Center here in Eugene every year.  (I was in a play for Corridor when I attended in 4th grade and it was put on in the same way, in the same theater.  It's a real tradition!)  It's only open to 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders so this was her first year, and let me tell you...she did AMAZING!!  

For those who don't know, Lynsey is not big on being the center of attention for large groups of people...especially when she doesn't know some of them.  Well, she was front and center for a few parts of her play and she rocked it out!  The play was Rockin' Around the Clock and chronicled the different music eras (50's, 60's, 70's, etc.)  Lynsey's class did the 70's so she got to dress up in a cute, psychedelic dress and beautiful white go-go boots.  (Oh, and I can't forget the peace sign necklace.)  And, they did an assist on a Michael Jackson song tribute.  They sang several songs, danced, and even recited some lines (in small groups).  She did SO awesome!  I even had other mothers who know how shy she can be come up and tell how impressed they were with how well Lynsey Jo did.  Made this already-so-so-proud mama giddy!  

I wasn't able to get too many good shots of her up on stage, but I got what I could and wanted to share.  She really was a little star up on that stage!  Almost brought tears to my eyes to see her pushing herself beyond what she was comfortable with and doing so wonderful at it!
