stretchmark #10 PEP 2010

May 14, 2010 We had school this day and I actually didn’t know about the PEP event until the day of when everyone was talking about it and Mr. Callahan mentioned it, I was like awh man I can’t make it because I have work. So I didn’t think much of it even though I really wanted to go. I went last year 2009 and I was actually in the PEP class the first semester and I loved it because you got to learn about the Filipino Heritage and other ethnic studies. But I left 2nd semester so I wasn’t able to cooperate in the show. They did very good last year so I was expecting they’d have the same this year. Well before the show i was at school and we had the yearbook party to set up for after school and that went successful. Then afterwards I was suppose to go to work but Jen and I were like we might as well go to PEP we’re already late and we’re not doing anything at work but watch movies. JM Jen and I took bus to James Denman and the show started around 6pm. There were a lot of Burton, Bal and even elementary school students from Longfellow that were in the show. All the performances turned out good. There were parts where they acted out scenes and the story was basically about this year being the first year that the SF District allowing to have ethnic studies as a class. It was pretty cool because I thought it’s a great way of showing different ethnic studies and learning about it can benefit a lot of people. My favorite performance was of course Burton’s and they did a good job, they sang, rapped and danced. And my other favorite was when the elementary students rapped and danced also. The PEP performance turned out well and hope that they continue to keep going with what they’re doing!
