"Lemonade" is more than a drink - it's a musical

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, February 28, 2016

Second and third graders in Ada Schools presented "Lemonade" on Thursday afternoon in the school auditorium. (The program should have been titled "Snow Cone" on one of the few days in February this year to see the white stuff come down.)

Ada has a large group of second and third graders with four classes in second and three in third. 

The program, drawing many family members in the audience, was headed up by music teacher Mrs. McPeeks. (Monty Siekerman)

Roger says his snowman was over seven feet tall originally.  Now it is nowhere near that tall, and the carrot nose, hat, and scarf lie scattered on the ground.
