This Week in Pictures
Middle School students presented their science fair projects this week!



Mrs. Craft's 7th grade English class acted out Act 3, Scene 1 in Midsummer Night's Dream. Students had to analyze the Shakespearean text, then they could choose to modernize it, summarize it, or perform it in its original form. They were responsible for coming up with their own costumes, and had creative license to design their costume from their perspective of what the character looked like.
