Eleven Pleasant Hill students eagerly participated in a puppet theater on Saturday, January 26. Under the direction of Linda Jones, they made their own puppets, learned their lines, and performed Chicken Soup with Rice, based on the book by Maurice Sendak - all in three hours.

The students represented the months of the year and performed their play which was video-taped and then critiqued for improvements before the "BIG" production. Several parents returned to watch the final performance. The puppet theater was funded through the Lights On Project.
