Random Act of Kindness: Day 3

December 3, 2009

Our School, The Academy For Academics & Arts, in Huntsville, Alabama, is putting on a large schoolwide production, Mr. Grumpy's Toy Shoppe. The children preschool-8Th grade including our special needs students participate in this wonderful musical. In all there are over 400 children in full costumes and makeup. Every teacher, administrator, and almost every parent make this happen for 10 sold-out shows. There is a small minority of students that are working backstage, lights, props, sound, and making sure the actors are onstage. These students don't get the recognition that some of the others students get. Today I saw one young man working backstage and thanked him for his hard work and dedication to his job. I told him what a difference he makes every performance and the show would not go on without his important contribution. I could see a change in his expression and huge smile on his face. I hope he realizes this show could not be without his professional contribution.
