Last Thursday, May 26th, Sespe GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) students performed an original musical, The King’s Fool, inspired by Shakespeare’s play King Lear. This is the seventh Sespe GATE production written by fourth grade Sespe teacher Greg Spaulding and co-directed with third grade teacher Lisa Gosselin. In the Sespe GATE production, Shakespeare’s grim tragedy is transformed into delightful musical comedy. Yorick, the king’s jester, is old and tired. He longs to retire and sit on a beach sipping orange Fanta. But who will make the king laugh? King Lear is also old and tired. He also wants to retire. But who will run the kingdom? When he suddenly and rashly decides to give up power, a chain of unintended (and hilarious) events is put in motion. The talented young cast sang danced and charmed their way across the stage, to the delight of the enthusiastic audience. The Cast: Abraham Garza Attendant, Alberto Ceja Edmund, Andrew Rodriguez Soldier, Arianna Magaña Robin, Blake Palacio King Lear, Chloe Gambill Cordelia, Damian Meza Attendant, Dyanysis Dunn Attendant, Edgar Gonzalez Soldier, Eric Hurtado Oswald, Fernie Gonzalez Yorick, Grace Garnica Goneril, Gregory Kraft Soldier, Ian Morris Hamlet, Joanna Ponce Colombina, Juan Orozco Soldier, Laura Avila Regan, Marcos Pino Arlecchino, Summer Hurtado Servant. |

 On November 5, the ASB of Fillmore Middle School went to Sespe to deliver a Fun Friday filled with activities. When we arrived, the Sespe kids were so excited with big smiles on their faces. Some of the activities included mini basketball, potato sack race, egg race, bubbles, tug of war, pin the tail on the donkey, Frisbee, and more. In the tug of war, the boys and girls challenged each other, and the funny thing is –sometimes the girls beat out the boys!! We also had prizes for the kids or teams that won the games. The kids had fun playing the games with their friends and we had fun playing with them too. This was the first time the FMS ASB delivered a Fun Friday to an elementary school. We look forward to delivering more of these kinds of events to other schools as well. Thank you to Ms. Hibler for giving us the opportunity to practice first hand our leadership skills with a group of wonderful students. Enlarge Photo |
