Molly Day Academy Awards
On October 25, 2013 the Major Work students of O.H. Perry put on a play for Senator and Mrs. Voinovich.
The reason we have Molly Day is to remember the life of Molly Voinovich, the daughter of Senator and Mrs. Voinovich, who was struck by a van and killed. Molly was a fourth grade Major Work student at O.H.Perry and her favorite color was lavender.
When the program started Kenneth Clement performed a Major Work rap. After Kenneth Clement preformed, the Major Work students of O.H.Perry performed a play called “The Academy Awards.” It was about how school awards are just as important, or even more important, than the Academy Awards for motion pictures. Afterwards three students, Ciera Allen, Paige Harden, and myself did a skit about the five points we need on the OAA to increase our scores from last year and at the same time introduced Mr. Eric Gordon, the CMSD CEO. Mi’onia Watkins and Cameron Moore did a skit to introduce Senator and Mrs. Voinovich.
The principal of O.H. Perry, Mrs. Sofia Piperis accepted the check Senator Voinovich gave to help fund the Major Work program. Mrs. Piperis thanked Mrs. Brunecz for directing the play and thanked the Major Work students for being in it.
I’m sure that everyone loved the program. It seems like every year the play gets better. I loved being in the play and I’m sure that next year will be better than ever. Molly’s memory lives on in us all.
