If There’s A Mime In The Cereal Aisle, He Gets The Pepper Spray, Local Shopper Mutters
WINDHAM – After two decades teaching Christian middle school students, Rick Hagerstrom knows how to catch an audience’s attention. And for the last few years while teaching at Windham Christian Academy, Hagerstrom, a Bridgton resident, has led a club made up of students who use juggling, magic and other performing arts to grab audiences’ attention while sharing the Christian message. The LOL Club, based on the Internet slang abbreviation for “laugh out loud,” aims to entertain and enlighten audiences at nursing homes, stores and churches. In February, the 15-member club, comprising Hagerstrom’s class of seventh- and eighth-grade students, served as a welcoming committee at Shaw’s supermarket in North Windham by performing for incoming shoppers.
