Elementary Drama:

*Congratulations to everyone who tried out last Wednesday. You did an awesome job and we could tell that many of you had spent a lot of time practicing. Unfortunately, we have to narrow down the cast to meet the requirements of the play and to make it possible to travel. This year all of the students in the play are in grades 2-5. Congratulations to the students who have earned a role in our new play! If you didn't get a role this year, please come back next fall and try again.
