What a success! Ms. Sarah and the Junior High theater students put on a phenomenal performance this past week. Well done to all of those involved!
Thank you to theater parents who transported and supported your children throughout the play process. A special thanks goes to the Medina, Wolfinger, Blazer, and Beers families for your incredible support with props, costumes, transporting furniture, clean-up, set-up, and all around awesomeness.
