MOTHER’S DAY

May 2008

  

    

International School parents were treated to an abridged performance of Mary Poppins on May 8, 2008, in celebration of Mother’s Day. Everyone, from the tots in nursery school to sixth graders, participated in the lively show, which featured songs and brief speaking roles from the musical based on P. L. Travers’s book about the nanny who is brought into the Banks family’s life on the east wind, only to change them forever.

Among the cheerful songs were “Jolly Holiday,” “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” “A Spoonful of Sugar,” “Chim, Chim Cher-ee/Step in Time,” and “Let’s Go Fly a Kite,” each of which was accompanied by dancing and props. Other highlights of the morning were the opening “Mañanitas” sung by the student body and Yunuén Elizarraras’ reading of her beautiful poem written for her mother.

The actors included Lizeth Altamirano and Ximena Higuera, sharing the role of Mary Poppins; Pablo Bribiesca, as Bert; Mathew Xavier Earathu, as Mr. Banks; Valeria Guillén, as Mrs. Banks; Gonzalo Caballero and Paulette Aguirre, as the Banks children, Michael and Jane; Valeria Solís, as Mrs. Grill; and Antonella Peimbert, as Katie Nanna. Thank you all for a wonderful show.
