It's been a short, busy week. Thursday was a day's holiday for "Corpo de Deus" and Friday morning was the dress rehearsal for Peter Pan. The children have been terrific and although excited and nervous have really done the best to be the "best they can be" for the Show. It's amazing and gratifying to see how children "bloom" in this type of event. It often reveals talent unrecognised and increases their self esteem by volumes.
