What's Going On the Week of April 18, 2021
Our theater, choir, and orchestra students exemplified resilience in the face of adversity and put on incredible performances of The Drowsy Chaperone. Thank you to Mr. Clark, Mr. Chapman, Mr. Miller, and Mrs. Lilley for facilitating an amazing student-led cast, crew and production in spite of COVID protocols and quarantines. (For instance, a professional sounding student orchestra that had to be piped in remotely from the band room and was flawlessly coordinated with the actors in the auditorium!) We are so proud of the level of talent, dedication, and sense of community that our students display on a consistent basis.
We realize that this was a frustrating week regarding multiple quarantines. Please know that we constantly refine our processes to balance the needs of our families and adhering to the current protocols in place. In particular, please note that quarantine expectations may have to be adjusted if multiple exposures develop or if a variant exposure is identified. We fully realize the frustration, complexity and inconvenience this causes and we assure you that we will continue to do the best we can to keep all students safe and meet each students’ needs.
