The drama elective teaches students basic acting skills most notably improvisation. This school year, was unique because only boys signed up for the elective. The highlight of the elective was our practice times and actual show for the Spring Concert. The students participating by acting on stage in a zany comedy about guests on a talk show who can only say one word. They had the audience rolling in their seats!
Ms. Neal
The students danced to One way (hip hop), Mighty To Save with flags, and How We Love with dancers and flags. For the Spring Program we combined MS and HS. They danced to Now Behold The Lamb, Lord Your Holy and Holy Visitation with sign language, flags, and hip hop dance.

Extra work pays off
Students worked really hard with partners on the salsa routines that middle school preformed. They even stayed afterschool to work on it and practice. They did a fantastic job.
Mrs. Rosario
Extra Work
The students worked hard learning different types of dances with partners. The song they danced to was God is Good. It was a little challenging as it used hip hop with salsa moves, but they learned it. The students practiced during lunch time and during their gym time.
Mrs. Rosario
Put It Like That
The students always started out on isolations, to warm up every part of their body. Then they worked on the basic dance steps for the songs that they were going to be dancing to. For the Christmas program the song the students danced to was Put It Like That. The students had a great time.
