Huntington School Briefs
Second graders in Washington Primary School teacher Suzy Dinehart’s class staged a late June production of “Peter Pan” for their parents and students in the school’s four grades.
Paul Katigbak played the role of Peter Pan, Olivia Perez was Tinker Bell and Diego Torres was Captain Hook. All members of the class had a part and it was obvious to the crowds attending the various performances that the youngsters were having a great time.
Naturally many parents and family members brought along cameras to record the occasion. The fast-paced production captured and held the attention of the young audience members.
