Forks Elementary School Rocks!

Fork Elementary school has been in existence for over 50 years. This school has been a integral part of our community and has educated over 5 generations of Forks citizens. Today, Forks Elementary school still inspires, educates, and encourages over 520 students to dream about a better tomorrow. Tonight, the Forks Elementary PTA held its annual Variety Show to celebrate this great Forks school institution.

The kids took a trip down memory lane, as they celebrated dance, songs, sitcoms from the 1950's to the present. The kids sang songs from the Beach Boys to Hannah Montana. We witnessed performances of "I Love Lucy" and a "Charlie Brown skit". It was so cool!

The Forks kids parents rocked to the sound of disco (Did I say that!), hit songs from the 70's such as "Car Wash", "Hair Spray", and "The Chipmunk Song". Hey Alvinnnnnnnnn(I could not help my self)! Eighties music fans would recognize classic hits such as "Double Dutch Bus", "Hey Mickey", and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Since this was a kids variety show, we heard a great rendition by Caileigh Rosa of a Disney song from the Pocahontas movie titled "Colors of the Wind".

However, it was the performance of kindergartner Korey Nickson that brought down the house. He sang and dance to the High School Musical movie hit song "Get Your Head In the Game". I never saw such moves and grace from such a young dancer. Great Job!

Now for a special thank you to the Show Director Gwynee Dunne who unselfishly donates her time, talent, and vision for these variety shows for over the past 3 years! This was Gwynee's final performance, as her daughter is moving to middle school next year. You will be missed!
