The Music Man
Our spring musical had a record number of audience members in attendance just shy of 1500 people attended during our three performance run of The Music Man! Thank you for coming out to support 60+ students who were involved in this production. It was a special treat to have 9 students from Kelley School and NMS involved as cast for this show. There were many tears shed at our closing curtain call. The Music Man was one for the memory books!

Field Trip to NYSTEA Student Conference
Our students shared their thoughts on the experience:
- "The conference really gets you out of your comfort zone. I feel like it made me a different person because I learned so many new things."
- "Always say 'yes' when you’re given the chance to take a risk. Even though you may have little vampires in your head reminding you of everything that could go wrong, don’t be afraid of failure and take a risk. It could lead to victory."
- "The conference reminded me to be brave in everything that I do."
- "It's a great learning experience especially if you want to go into musical theatre or something similar."
We received official approval to attend again January 10-12, 2020! Miss. Howard can bring 10 students (in grades 10-12). If you are interested, let her know. If more than 10 are interested we will have an application process. Want more info? Check out our website.
