Fifth-grade Drama Club members at Sycamore Avenue Elementary School recently performed a theater production titled “Aesop’s Modern Fables: Aesop and his Fables Live Today!”

To prepare for the production, the students rehearsed under the direction of Drama Club advisor and third-grade teacher Lori Tutino. Throughout the course of the performance, the students put modern day twists on popular fables, such as “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” and “The Tortoise and the Hare,” to reinforce key messages of such as making the right decisions in school and respecting peers.
