5th Graders Perform "Appleseed" Play

St. Joseph School/Randolph

UPublish story by DWhittlesey

Randolph, Ohio (October 2008); The fifth grade class at Randolph’s St. Joseph School recently performed a play on the life of John Chapman, better known as “Johnny Appleseed”. Their teacher, Mrs. Peggy Palazzo, directed the students as part of their religion and social studies classes. “The students in my classes have performed this play, each year, for the past six years” stated Mrs. Palazzo. The play is presented to all St. Joe students, faculty, staff, and guests of the students. “The children do not speak in the play, it is all done using narration. In preparation of the play, the students discuss ‘Johnny Appleseed’ and his lifelong goals of planning trees, talking to the Native Americans, and preaching the good news all around the country. But most of all, they had fun doing it!” stated Palazzo.

“I really had a good time being Johnny Appleseed” said Jacob Stepp, 10 of Atwater who played Appleseed. “I learned that the pioneers ate a lot of apples because of Johnny Appleseed” quoted Stepp.

After the play, the students offered their guests refreshments of apple cider, donuts, and of course, apples!

St. Joseph School was established in 1832 and is believed to be the first English speaking parochial school established west of the Allegheny Mountains. For over 170 years, St. Joseph School has endured and prospered a standing testimony to the faith, hope, and courage of its founders. The school provides a comprehensive Christian-based curriculum for grades K-8 with opportunities for Advanced Math and Accelerated Reader. In addition, the school offers Spanish, beginner and advanced band, participation in Eastern Eagles sports teams as well as Scouting and before/after school care. The school has a small student/teacher ratio and children from all religious backgrounds are welcome. St. Joseph Catholic School, in partnership with the Church, community and family, strives to provide a quality education in an atmosphere of Catholic Christian teachings and values. Our goal is to promote the spiritual, academic, social, emotional, and physical excellence of our students.
