OSCARS Return

  • The OSCARS ARE BACK!!!!

    Star quality was on display at the Cherry Avenue Third Grade Oscar Awards ceremony where “glamorous and dashing celebrities” were recognized for their true talents.

    Making their red-carpet entrance into the auditorium, the nominees took center stage for an adorable performance of “Enjoy the Show” by Mike Wilson, directed by their energetic music teacher, Kristi Woerner.

    After, Hostess of Ceremonies Mrs. Geraldine Batterberry enumerated all the responsibilities these hardworking Third-graders accomplished during the school day (“with barely enough time for a 10-minute snack”), including preparation for the Wax Museum and a song for the Oscar show. The success of their efforts undoubtedly made them all “Oscar worthy” for which the ceremony would recognize each student with specific awards. “Academy” Assistants, Mrs. Andria Flynn and Mrs. Karen Donnelly, accessorized in splendid feathered boas, distributed the statuettes to each winner called to the stage.  

    Starting with administrative awards for Assistant Superintendent (and former Cherry Principal) Dr. John Stimmel, Cherry Avenue Principal Dr. Lisa Ihne, and Musical Director Kristi Woerner, the presentation continued with the naming of categories and the student winners (see below).

    Standing center stage, the actors and actresses expressed their “shock, surprise, and gratitude” in their acceptance speeches that thanked family, friends and teachers.

    It all seemed great fun, but the actual purpose of the Cherry Avenue Oscars was to promote public speaking and help the students develop a sense of self-esteem, thereby fulfilling the New York State Standards for public speaking.

    By the conclusion of the ceremony, Hostess of Ceremonies had delivered enough corny jokes that had everyone groaning with laughter, and each radiant star wore a pleased look while clutching a shining statue. At that moment, it was not too difficult to imagine the voice of Sally Field in the background: “You like me, you really like me!”
