Emma at the Smith Center

The 3rd graders at Emma's school had the once in a life time opportunity to attend a play at the Smith Center here in Las Vegas. The play they watched was Frindle, which was a required book at their school.  The Smith Center is not only for the performing arts but has an educational outreach program.  10 years ago when they built the model for the Smith Center it did not include limos or taxis, but school buses.  The center won't officially open until this weekend but one of the first performances ever to the public was free to these few students.

Emma was so proud and excited to attend the play, especially since it was performing in the new Smith Center.  I have to admit, I was a bit jealous!!  I LOVE plays, ballets, concerts, opera....  I love it all.  I am so excited that Vegas opened the doors to this beautiful building and debt free as well!  It also holds an endowment for starting operations!  How awesome is that!

Our local news channel 3 was there to capture this event.  Since parents were not able to attend, I knew I wouldn't be able to take a picture of this special day for Emma.  BUT....  They interviewed her and she was so adorable!  She talked about her play that she wrote and is directing at her school.  They even made a sweet comment about her, too.

The link below will take you to the whole 30 minute segment that day.  News 3 at 5.  The actual clip is about 10 to 11 minutes in.
