The talent and commitment of the student performers and volunteers as well as parent volunteers accounts for the show's success -- from backstage to onstage to the concession stand. Special thanks go out to Jody Branham, variety show director extraordinaire, and to Cambria Hicks, the artist who painted the amazing circus panels. Click here for more

Ode to Mrs. Zimmer
Written by Room 5 Students
Oh, Mrs. Zimmer, you are a spectacular principal.
You never yell when we get in trouble.
You always have a sweet, kind smile on your face.
Oh, Mrs. Zimmer, you smell of rosemary and flowers.
You are NOT just a normal principal.
You are exceptional and exciting in every way.
Oh, Mrs. Zimmer, your eyes shimmer like crystals.
You are a very responsible yard duty.
You always bring happiness to our school.
Oh, Mrs. Zimmer, you talk to kids in a normal way.
You are beautiful like a lily flower.
You are funny like a bouncy ball on a trampoline.
We all LOVE you, Mrs. Zimmer!
