Student Council Estimation Winner
Being generous doesn't escape notice
School House Rock Live, Jr. was awesome! We had a great time seeing this play
Students in kindergarten to grade 4 had a fantastic time attending the School House Rock play at Mount Wachusett Community College. Students were well entertained by all of the singing, dancing, colorful costumes and catchy and educational tunes. For many teachers and staff, we had some nostalgic moments hearing songs that we grew up with intermixed with our Saturday morning cartoons.
We want to once again express our deep gratitude to our school PTO and their dedictated efforts that resulted in being awarded a local cultural council grant to fund our trip to see this play.
"This program is supported in part by a grant from the Athol Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency."
