Good Morning!
I would just like to start off with saying a very big ‘thank you’ to everyone involved in the Spring Musical Performances over the past two days. To put on great shows like this takes a huge amount of team work…working out logistics, stage management, creating the scenery and props, all the music accompaniment, parent communication, food service…and much, much more…including, of course, all the hours spent in rehearsals. Special thanks to Renae, who has put her life and soul into this production…the children were amazing, and it really was a great show.
