WELLS — Prior to the December school recess, Wells Elementary School featured its 3rd annual “A Winter Fable”. According to Assistant Principal Ken Spinney, who played a spin-off of the character, Charlie Brown, the 40-minute production was a dramatization and celebration of one of the school’s core values, “compassion.” Spinney says it also reinforces an understanding and appreciation for others at this holiday time. The fable featured a blend of staff and student characters, as well as the entire student body joining together in song. In the photo from left, are: bottom row, students Nolan Brown and Molly Tavares; middle row, teacher Pam Lear, Principal Marianne Horne, Assistant Principal Ken Spinney, student Nolan Mottor, teachers Henry Ingwersen, Donna Longley and special education teacher Eric Hopkins; seated in back is the narrator of the fable, former WES teacher Rayleen Grant. The story was co-written by music teacher Karen Taylor and physical education teacher Kathy Calo.
