Enochville Elementary, second grade:

My favorite character in “The Boxcar Children” was Jessie because she is smart like me when it comes up to things like math and reading and books. My favorite part of “The Boxcar Children” was when the lawn mower came out because the sound was cool! -Carly

I give “The Boxcar Children” two thumbs up. I think the four characters that played the children are really good. I think that the props were really good and I especially liked the boxcar. I also loved the lighting a lot! – CJ

I give “The Boxcar Children” five out of five stars because I think the actors were great in the play and the costumes looked real. The setting looked like I was in the play. -Joey
