Mrs. Kennington’s fifth grade class will be attending a production of the Broadway musical The Lion King on March 25 to conclude their study of the theater. As you are probably aware, the play is based on the 1994 Disney Film about a young lion’s coming- of-age struggles.

Attending the play will give the fifth graders a real sense of New York Theatre. The production will be at the New Amsterdam Theatre, built in 1903 and for years considers the most majestic on 42d Street. With its recent renovation. It has been restored almost to its original grandeur. The theatre is best known as the home of the Ziegfield Follies (1913 through 1927) and George M. Cohan’s Forty-Five Minutes from Broadway.

This will be a great experience for the fifth graders. Mrs. Kenningston would like four parents to help chaperone on the day of the production. Are you interested and willing to assist? I will call you next week to determine your availability and discuss details.

Sincerely

Marsha Rhodes
