Much to the delight of students, singer/songwriter Lee Knight presented Willow Road's first "Book's Alive" assembly sponsored by the PTA as a kick-off to PARP. Ms. Knight has written more than 120 songs for school age children. She creates music for popular children's literature and engages the children in the audience by bringing them onstage to perform with her. With the use of simple costumes and props and the assistance of Ms. Laura Williams, the books are brought to life.
Willow Road's music teacher, Ms. Lotito was given the music Ms. Knight was to perform a few weeks before the assembly. The music was shared with the students in advance so that they knew the words to the songs for the assembly and were singing and dancing in their seats.
Among the books highlighted by Ms. Knight were “Diary of A Wimpy Kid,” “Strega Nona,” “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs,” “The Lorax” and “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.”
