A big THANK YOU to Erin Balla and Beth Hillberry who make sure our students had a drama program this year, our students take so much away from the experience. Thank you to the staff members who shared their talents and loaned us so much space. Thank you to the parents, so many of you showed us your amazing talents, and some of you learned something new to help us out! A heartfelt thank you to our community members who recognize how an experience like this will benefit many. We also want to thank you, the families who came out to watch our students show off their months of hard work, they were so excited to show their friends and family what they've been working on.  We asked you to bring donations for our classrooms, by the second half of the year so much needs replacing, and you came through in ways we couldn't imagine! The pile of donations was such a wonderful sight! The monetary donations will go to help fill in areas we missed and was so appreciated. While the curtain has been closed on this amazing season we look forward to a new adventure next year!
