Every year, the Year 10 class at V\u00ed\u00f0ista\u00f0ask\u00f3li stages a musical, but this year the musical 'Footloose' was staged with pomp and circumstance from 15th-17th February 2019. The lead-up to such a musical is long and involves a great deal of collaboration between the school and parents. This year, the parents took a huge part and supported their children in a truly unique way. Parents called for increased collaboration with the school, held regular meetings, shared information with other parents, organised the logistics for the musical weekend with the pupils, and looked after the cast, singers, dancers and the band during long rehearsals with pep talks, pats on the back, and encouraging words, along with all sorts of snacks and food and drink to make everyone feel good during a stressful time. The parents who took the lead were: Kristjana \u00d3sk J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir, Oddn\u00fd \u00c1rmannsd\u00f3ttir and Brynhildur Hauksd\u00f3ttir, Berg\u00fe\u00f3ra Sigur\u00f0ard\u00f3ttir, Ragnhei\u00f0ur Anna Georgsd\u00f3ttir and Lov\u00edsa Agnes J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hvatningarver\u00f0laun foreldrar\u00e1\u00f0s 2019 f\u00f3ru \u00ed skaut V\u00ed\u00f0ista\u00f0ask\u00f3la og F\u00e9lagsmi\u00f0st\u00f6\u00f0varinnar Hraunsins, en ver\u00f0launin voru afhent \u00ed g\u00e6rkv\u00f6ldi.
