The journey around the
world parade ended with
Erin Murphy, Field School
principal, wearing a Statue
of Liberty costume while
her son, Finn, 4, dressed as
an American flag.
Nick Milano, assistant
principal at Field School,
dressed as Uncle Sam.
Together, the three represented
the United States.
Next was the entertainment,
which was so captivating
that most stayed for
all the acts.
First came the Field Middle
School choir, followed
by students singing a song
in Mongolian.
Saranzul Batzul and
Munkhundram Purevsuren
performed an elegant, native
Mongolian dance. The
girls seemed to float across
the stage as they danced.
The Winkelman Bucket
Drummers, directed by
teacher Heather Bordley-
Harvell, were a delight as
they drummed through
their performance.
The Champion Martial
Arts group gave a performance
that kept everyone’s
eyes on the stage while its
members did many martial
arts maneuvers.
One of the youngest
members broke blocks of
wood with his hand, and
older members broke them
with their feet.
But one that captured
everyone’s attention was
done by student Michael
Glowacki.
He twirled and threw
two performance swords in
the air as though they were
children’s batons and he
was a juggler.
“We are not allowed to
use real swords with sharp
blades while we are performing,”
he said. “It is too
dangerous.
The edges of my swords
are blunt.”
Kishen Behara, Shail
Desai, Tanvi Natarajan
and Kayla Patel later
performed dances from
various states in India.
As attendees filtered out
of the school, the most common
remark heard throughout
was, “We’ll be back for
next year’s celebration.”
