KES enjoyed the Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers show "Everybody Loves Pirates". The show featured 15 hand-crafted mouth and rod puppets and a 8 foot paper-mache pirate ship. The show was full of giggles and laughs. Students were given the opportunity to ask questions and see the behind the scenes on how the show was created. Thank you Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers.
