Middle School Class Performs "Teddy Bear"
This month commemorates 100 years since the publication of Winnie the Pooh, the beloved children's classic by A. A. Milne. In honor of this anniversary, the Middle School class, led by their teacher Mrs. Boynton, performed the poem "Teddy Bear," A. A. Milne's first piece to include the character Winnie the Pooh, originally named Edward Bear.^1 ^2

What an exciting way to pay tribute to A. A. Milne and his contributions to the good, the true and the beautiful in children's literature!
