Dear Friends everywhere,
We at Middle School Friends laughed
a lot this week. We went on an awesome hike that ended with
getting wet at a waterfall. We also sang peace songs (including
the George Fox song) with a special guest, Susan Snipes-Wells.
Art class was awesome because we made
potato stamps and decorated paper with them. We are performing
the play "Tomahawk", and have learnt many acting
and performing techniques this week. Decorating props for
the play was great because it was the connection between
art and drama.
The "Force More Powerful"
PBS documentaries about Ghandi and the Nashville lunch counter
sit-ins taught us that if you work hard enough you can achieve
anything. The Green Show that we saw at the Pennsylvania
Shakespeare Festival was very funny.
We were priviledged to hear from Suzanne
Day and Robin Harper about war tax resistance, and learnt
about the sacrifices that they made. Overall, we rock and
we have had a lot of fun.
