Our Performing Arts students did an amazing job on stage, off stage, and behind the scenes in putting on series of shows between May 10 and May 12. Many of us are still singing ABBA songs this week and visualizing the powerful choreographed dancing. Congratulations to the talented students and staff for the countless hours that went into preparation, rehearsals, and performances.
