Submitted by amy.darrington on

On April 27 Mrs. Jarvis' 5th grade shared a reader's theatre: "The Butterfly Effect: How Your Life Matters."  Based on the book by inspirational and best-selling author Andy Andrews, the student performers shared how many unknown Americans have heroically and often selflessly impacted their fellow man for good. Their conclusion? Every life matters! Every choice makes a difference!  Mrs. Bean (a Nebo K-5 drama coach) teamed with Mrs.Jarvis to give these students this opportunity to learn, grow and share.
