34th Annual Academy Awards
October 25, 2013 was Molly Day at O. H. Perry. Molly Day is a day where we remember Molly Voinovich, who was struck by a car on her way back to school and died. Molly Voinovich was a 9 yr. old Major work student at Oliver Hazard Perry who was a loving and caring person. Senator and Mrs. Voinovich were devastated by her death. Each year we put on a play dedicated to the memory of Molly.
The play we performed was about two students who found themselves in a mix-up. Instead of the students going to the O.H. Perry Academy Awards, they wound up at the 34th Annual Academy Awards for motion pictures. There were six main characters: a movie star, four students, and a director. In certain parts of the performance we sang "Walking on Sunshine," an OAA remix of "Dynamite," "Take a Bow" and "Lean on Me."
The movie star (which was me) acted as if she was better then everyone until she realized that she wasn’t receiving any awards. She sang the remix of "Take a Bow." She noticed that being rich and popular doesn’t always get you where you want to be in life.
As the movie star of the play, it was a fun experience to put on a show for Senator and Mrs. Voinovich, our CEO, teachers, principal, and others from the CMSD system. Senator and Mrs. Voinovich gave our school a check for the Major Work program. Their generous donation provides us with enrichment materials and experiences for the Major Work Scholars!!
