Aladdin! photos
"It has strange markings...."
"You just get my Smagro back!"
"Did I hear you cats mention a genie?"
"It's not uncommon among fairytale princesses...."
"It's simply a matter of the correct level of pucker...."
"Dear Mummy and Daddy.... If that man attempts to kiss me, have him executed!"
"Oh, how happy that would make me!"
"En garde!"

A Spirited Semester!
The SIBS Co-op just ended its first semester and we're already looking ahead to next fall! SIBS was created in January 2011 to offer fun and fulfilling experiences for younger siblings of the DVHS Co-op students. This semester, we enjoyed Games Time (getting those brains in gear first thing in the morning!), Drama (ably led by Melanie R. with assistance from Kristen L.), Art (again led by the talented Melanie with assistance from Robin L.), and Gym Time (led by various energetic moms!) SIBS students are still meeting for Drama rehearsal through May in preparation for their June 3 production of Aladdin. Hope to see you there!
