Pearl City, Illinois — The Pearl City First grade had a wedding of the letters Q (played by Abigail Ditsworth) and U (played by Ty Gerber) on October 23, 2017. They learned that the letters q and u stick together in all words.
To honor Q and U the boys were “quarterbacks” and the girls were queens. To celebrate they had a wedding ceremony followed by a reception and dance. Of course they performed the traditional wedding “chicken dance.” The guests (students) brought gifts for Q and U, canned goods which will be donated to the Pearl City Food Pantry.
