Beautiful Blackbird Performace

Our Kinder and First Graders had the opportunity to go to an amazing performance today!  Ashley Bryan’s artful children’s book cames to life in this joyful concert in Westbrook.  In this story, the colorful birds of Africa ask Blackbird, who they think is the most beautiful of birds, to color them black so they can be beautiful too, though Blackbird reminds them that true beauty comes from the inside. The students were so excited about this adventure to the theater!
