Sverdrup Lodge Sponsored the
Trolleri Players at Elementary
Schools September 25 Nearly 200 students giggled, laughed and seem to take in the lesson on being yourself while attending the program brought to them by the Trolleri Players. It's a classic Scandinavian tale about two princesses switched at birth. One's a troll and the other a human. Both learn to live in a world very different from their own. "Here in North Dakota there's a lot of kids with Scandinavian heritage. So this is really a story that belongs to them," explained Rose Arrowsmith DeCoux, a Trolleri Players member. Laughter and smiles weren't in short supply. The tale taught the third, fourth and fifth-graders how to be comfortable with themselves regardless of the situation.
