I know I know I know! It's been AGES since the last update. So now I'm going to attempt to catch you all up with what's been going on with this post.
December-
December was a short, but fabulous month. I think the highlight was the joint Glee Club and Band Performance. They did a wonderful job!
Also, CONGRATULATIONS to Michael Daniels for winning the Roosevelt University Poetry Contest. His submission was about Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream about a Beloved Community. He placed first over 200+ entries! A lot of our students were also Finalists and Semi-Finalists.
February/March-
During the months of February and March, we worked very hard on HAIRSPRAY! We collaborated with Ms. Fortner's dance class and learned how to sing and dance to "Welcome to the 60s" and "Run and Tell That." We had so much fun learning Ms. Fortner's choreographed dance moves!
The MIT Logarhythms all the way from Boston, Massachusetts came to visit us and gave a wonderful performance, followed by a Q&A session afterward. The scholars loved their a cappella tunes!
April-
We did a quick sample of Wicked and presented Powerpoint presentations on the story and how Wicked is a different point of view from The Wizard of Oz.
We also did a trip to the City Lit Theatre up North in Andersonville!
Some of our scholars participated in the production for little kids! Everyone had a great time!
