At Charles Wright, foreign languages and performing arts aren’t extracurriculars and electives, they’re an integral part of the curriculum from the Beginning School all the way through the Upper School. In recent years, the Beginning School’s production of Rainbow Crow has become a bit of a tradition around here. Now all our pre-kindergarten class fans can watch the 2007 production online.

Rainbow Crow is the story of how Crow got his black feathers and hoarse voice and it’s a tale of selflessness and service to others. Rainbow Crow is a legend from the Lenni Lenape people, Native Americans living in the area of New Jersey around the Delaware River, lower Hudson River and Long Island Sound.

Suzy Ebalo, Beginning School teacher, considers the play her favorite project of the year. As the kids make totem poles for the play, Ebalo needs to constantly reassure them she’s okay as she repeatedly burns herself with the hot glue gun.
