UPPER SCHOOL
STUDENTS SHINE IN
FIVE PERFORMANCES OF
CINDERELLA
Congratulations to the cast, crew, orchestra, set designers, and directors on a fabulous production!
145 students
contributed their talents in music, dance, sound, lighting, painting, textile arts, and set design to make the musical a grand success.
Did you know?
- Students contributed their creative talents as set painters, light and sound designers, orchestra members, as well as t-shirt design.
- Mr. Sjol’s Engineering Class designed the movement of the clock hands.
- Mrs. Dornsife’s Fiber Arts Class created the handmade tissue props.
Student engagement opportunities, like the Upper School musical, are designed to
- promote creativity and problem solving
- strengthen leadership and communication skills
- develop team work and discipline
- build confidence and unity
Mrs. Snavely remarked, “In rehearsals, I saw senior students encouraging younger students and observed a sense of unity where students were cheering and praying for one other. Each year I am amazed by the talents of our students.”
