A manger for the Christmas play

Tweet

Our school has lost five (count 'em, five) mangers used for plays since I started here. We let a church borrow one, and soon we realize we haven't seen it for a couple years... I went hunting for the last manger in the props room, and it wasn't there. So I asked our industrial arts teacher if he could make me a foldable manger that I can store in my office all year. Less than a week later, he says, "I don't know if this is what you wanted, but I threw this together with a few scraps I had." Well, it is an absolutely gorgeous slatted manger that folds up so I can store it. My program is a week from Friday so we can use it. This is why I ask other people to help me with things they are good at, because I can put together a great musical program, but can't do the props and costumes. Working together is the best! What has someone else helped you with recently?
