The annual May Day celebration on May 1 in Watchung Plaza was cancelled due to rain, so Edgemont School set up a maypole on the front lawn of the school and enjoyed a May celebration last Friday.
The 3rd grade Edgemont Recorder Ensemble played a lively Rondo. The Maypole Dancers danced round the maypole while singing Sumer Is Icumen In and Hippy Chippy Charlie, accompanied by the Orff Ensemble. The Green Team presented prizes to students who participated in Waste-Free Lunch for five Fridays, and then the entire school joined together to sing All Things Bright and Beautiful as a continued celebration of Earth Day. It was lovely to see so many families join the celebration.
