Fairy Tales come true at Dogwood!

March 30, 2026

After weeks of excitement and preparation, second graders at Dogwood Elementary School brought storybooks to life as they transformed into their favorite fairy tale characters for the school’s beloved annual Fairy Tale Ball. Dressed in creative costumes, students sang, danced, and delighted families with a magical performance to remember.

A cherished tradition at Dogwood, the Fairy Tale Ball serves as the grand finale to the second grade’s reading and writing exploration of the fairy tale genre. This year students presented performances involving "Little Red Riding Hood, "The Three Little Pigs" and "Goldilocks and The Three Bears."

Blending English Language Arts and Social Studies, the experience gave students a chance to showcase both their creativity and their learning in a meaningful way.

A heartfelt thank you to Principal Renee Carpenter and the Dogwood’s music and art departments for helping bring the performance to life through song and illustration!
