Applause Elementary Speech & Drama Festival - May 11th, 2017





On May 11th, 2017, the 4V class participated in the annual Applause Elementary Speech & Drama Festival held in the Engineered Theatre in the Arts Commons Theatre in downtown Calgary. This two-day festival has expanded to include performances from 17 different classes from the CSSD.
Recent weeks have seen the students of 4V preparing their performance of the “Parable of the Pencil".

This poem was selected because we can all relate it to our own lives.
  • This parable may encourage you to know that you are a special person, with unique God-given talents and abilities.
  • Only you can fulfill the purpose, which you were born to accomplish.  
  • While we all need to be constantly sharpened, it reminds us to never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot be changed. 
  • Like the pencil, always remember that the most important part of who you are, is what’s inside of you. 
Below is a segment of the poem that they will be performing. . .
The students enjoyed the experience of performing in this venue and want to thank the parents who served as volunteers accompanying on this memorable event. Below are some pictures of the performance.
