Bren woke up on the Wednesday of April vacation to a big surprise- balloons and a gift bag. In the gift bag was a shirt “On Wednesdays We Wear Pink.” That was how he found out he would be going to New York for the day to see Mean Girls with Chris.

Chris ordered pink sneakers for himself and watched the movie to prepare. They took the bus and arrived for the matinee. A friend arranged a surprise backstage tour after the show as well! Bren had an awesome day!

It doesn’t matter how many stages Brendan is on or shows he is in, performing on his school stage, with his friends and for his friends is truly special. This year’s show was Aladdin and he loved every minute of it.

During one of the performances – the one the middle school kids were attending – Jasmine’s wig came off. She kept going and he made a joke of it. And those kids gave the biggest ovation. It was something special.

We say over and over again how lucky we are to have a school so committed to the arts. Brendan is a very lucky kid. All the Condon kids are.

Student Share was another opportunity to share a favorite song, their choice was Friend Like Me. I was coordinating it and Chris and Aidan were doing audio backstage. It was a family affair!
