For the project, Mrs. Colleen Engler’s eighth-grade students chose to perform an adaptation of “The Wonderful Wizard of 0z.” Their inspiration for the per- formance came when the class was in seventh-grade and they listened to a homily by Rev. James Paisley, pastor of St. Therese’s Parish in Shavertown. During that particular school mass, Fr. Paisley discussed the movie with the students. Mrs. Engler, who was also their seventh-grade religion teacher, followed the homily with more discussion in religion class. The students then excited- ly began preparing their project for the following year. ~~ During the summer months, Engler searched for a viable w © script and, during the first week of school, students chose the role each would like to play. Every student had a role in the play and excitedly learned their lines, tak- ing stage directions from their classmate, Jamie Carty. Student Maria Khoudary de- Molly Hampsey plays the role of Glinda the Good Witch in the Gate of Heaven production of “The Wizard of 0z.” signed and applied all of her classmates’ make-up; costumes were purchased and/or created by the students.

Miss Ashley Walters, Gate of Heaven art teacher, taught the students how to design and cre- ate their backdrop which consist- ed of four set changes, all drawn and painted by the students. On the afternoon of the per- formance, the class chose to stay after school and have its cast par- ty prior to the performance. Singing, dancing and eating were interspersed with applying make-up, curling hair and dress- ing in costumes. ‘One Book™ program is May For the sixth consecutive year, Pennsylvania’s One Book, Every Young Child program will lead the way and highlight the importance of early literacy de- velopment in preschoolers ages 3 to 6.
