It's when they saw their school turned into the Kingdom of the Nile River Park for a day. Their history teacher, Mr. Tim Lewis, a sword and fire-juggling King Lewis The Wise, among others. And they come to school in the Middle Ages all jewelry to create opportunities lively medieval in which the nobles and women dancing and singing, playing or watching the game while partying al fresco on food and drink reminiscent of the past.
Make-believe in this fantasy land is just normal school day for seventh graders in Lewis history, only much more complicated. And a more enjoyable, not only for students but for parents, especially those who get really involved in the creation of the period of their children's costumes.
Actually, it was only half the fun for the parents. They also became parents of paparazzi who came armed with digital cameras and camcorders to capture their children in costumes for children and grandchildren.
Now in its 11th year, Friday Medieval Faire featuring more elaborate decorations, thank you to all the cooperative efforts of students, parents, and Lewis himself. A new pavilion donated by members of the Parent Community Club allows food and drinks to be served outside this year in the school quad area, not in the classroom Lewis. Also new is a large banner featuring medieval symbols and themes that made by Lewis, who drew the pictures, and the students who painted them.
All of these are interrelated in a lesson that children learn in the classroom, which is the whole object of this celebration. It's to let the students experience how life was during the Medieval times. The students can even choose a name that matches their costumes Medieval: Galahad Bowman, Is Blacksmith, Emilie of Brentwood Manor.
Garden Kingdom of the Nile "exists only in the imagination of teachers and students," said the teacher, aka King Lewis The Wise, in his speech at the end of The Parade manor.
He led the parade sitting on his throne - antique chairs set on a cart with wheels - drawn by slaves while others remained comfortable with the greatness of the kingdom of the giant cooling fan. In the rear seat is a karaoke machine roared music revival that serves as an audio backdrop for the parade. His opening speech signal transfer "rules" to the king and queen of the newly elected to lead the celebration of the day.
Lewis said the event would not succeed without "the help of a lot of people." The school's Parent Community Club, which not only provides them with a new tent for the banquet pavilion, but also help with food, supplies and decorating supplies, "is the best in here," he said.
Another great source of support each year for the annual event is the custodial staff who do the settings and then put everything back when the program is done, said Lewis.
He also appreciated the school and administrative staff for their cooperation and patience and for tolerating what he called "chaos" that he makes every year.
Friday joined the crowd which consisted of the students' families, including some grandparents are members of the Lewis family: his parents Harold and Ruth, who also helped in the decoration over the years, his sister Sharon Peck, whose children are part of a seven costumed graders, brother-in-law George Peck, Steve's brother, and niece Marisa Lewis. www.mantecabulletin.com
