I want to express my gratitude to the PTA and all the volunteers for Lappin' with the Lions for their time and dedication to our students and school community. The entire event was well organized and so much fun for all involved: students, staff, families. The event helped us continue to progress Southwood Glen as a better place to learn, better place to work and part of a better community.
Yours in education,
Bridget Mowbray

FORTE THEATRE PRESENTS: THE SOUND OF MUSIC
The hills are alive with the sound of music! Join Forte Theatre Company for their mainstage debut at the Saber Center - and one of the most beloved musicals of all time. In Austria, 1938, an exuberant young governess brings music and joy back to a broken family, only to face danger and intrigue as the Nazis gain power. With music and lyrics by Rodgers & Hammerstein, a cast of some of Milwaukee's top professional talent and FPS students playing some of the VonTrapp children, this is a theatrical experience not to be missed!
October 7th - 16th / Fri & Sat @ 7 pm, Sun @ 2 pm
Saber Center for the Performing Arts
