I've seen the plays that Mr. Parsley does with his 5th grade class. My daughter was in one of them. They're creatvie and fun.
My question and comment is to the editors of the Herald. Schmitz Park has performed an all school production for the past 8 years. They involve kids from all grades, not just one 5th grade class. Why have you never given any attention to those plays? To be fair, 2 of the plays have had small pictures in the Herald, back on page 3 or 4. They have always invited photographers from the Herald who have always commented on the quality of the production. Because so many kids can be involved, the school has moved the play to the West Seattle HS performance hall.
It's great that the Herald covered this event. But shouldn't they also cover all of these school productions? Expecially when so many West Seattle families are involved? I hope they remember for next year.
