Big Bad Wolf and 12 Angry Pigs

Today, our students were treated to a wonderful play presented by the 7th and 8th graders in Mr. Evan's theater art class. The play was very good and it seemed that the kids had a wonderful time.
The play starred the Big Bad Wolf and the trial after the "accidental" death (eaten) of two of the three little Pigs. 
Ask your student about the play.

Thanks,.
Mr. Fierros
