northbrooktower.com school the northbrook tower | May 3, 2018 | 25 Wescott first-graders explore the wonderful world of dogs Submitted by District 30 Wescott School firstgraders performed the original musical “Dogs!” for the last time with Bill Vaananen. The musical premiered 32 years ago and has been a beloved show for many classes. Wescott School first-graders presented the show this year on April 20. Vaananen has served as Wescott’s music teacher for 37 years and has been affectionately called “Mr. V” by countless students. After the first-graders’ performance, he said that “today we performed our original musical ‘Dogs!’ for the last time at Wescott. We premiered the show 32 years ago with the thirdgraders in March 1986. Since then, we have done ‘Dogs!’ or one of its sequels over a dozen times — not counting summer-school productions and other spinoffs. The children did a wonderful job. Thanks for the memories, kids.” Retiring music teacher Bill Vaananen plays the piano. Principal Chris Brown said, “Everyone’s tails were wagging this week as Wescott’s first-grade students treated the students, staff and Wescott families to one final performance of ‘Dogs!’ Thank you to our first-grade teachers Ashley Grosshuesch, Courtney Hoffman, Sharon Latek and Sydney Lichten for giving production assistance and practicing lines with the children in class, and to physical education teacher Roy Grober for his production assistance and technical setup. “We extend a big thank you to music teacher Bill Vaananen, composer and director of ‘Dogs!’ His last show with the fifth-graders takes place on May 17-18 and will be titled ‘Finale.’” Wescott first-graders (left to right) Nola Kunkle, Ainsleigh Kruz and Kacey Lee sing during their performance of the original musical “Dogs!” on April 20 at the school.
