BONSALL – Bonsall Elementary School teachers Lorraine Betschman and Carla Edwards directed their 3rd grade classes in a musical production of "Character Matters." The play was practiced and performed as an artistic and musical enrichment to the standard curriculum

The audience was welcomed to the weekly meeting of the Fairy Tale Advice Council. Led by Rapunzel, a Handsome Prince, and a (recovering) Wicked Witch, the council offers help in character building to famous folk creatures.

In this fun and non-preachy show, the Big Bad Wolf learns the Golden Rule; Cinderella gets help in managing her anger at her bullying stepsisters, and Jack and the Giant discover that their differences are cool.

Will Humpty Dumpty take responsibility for his fall? Can Baby Bear forgive Goldilocks (and will Goldilocks apologize, or just take the porridge and run)?
