Logan Elm students, staff and the community, who have been anxiously awaiting the first signs of construction of the new school building, were recently thrilled to see the earth-moving equipment begin initial site prep work, including the cutting in of a new driveway!

Taking the McDowell stage on April 16-18, the Logan Elm High School Dramatic Braves entertained audiences with their production of "Charley's Aunt," adapted by Gary Peterson and produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service.

The Dramatic Braves, under the directions of Ashli Dexter, LEHS English Language Arts teacher, were faced with many challenges, given the current health restrictions. “We have a lot of newer kids, so we’re working on facial expressions and projecting while wearing masks,” Ms. Dexter said during rehearsals in early April. “We’ve had a lot of the stage crew pulling extra weight in trying to remotely figure out how to do props. I think the kids have really learned to overcome those obstacles and I think that’s made them strong and they see how much they can do, even without having the conventional resources,” she added.

The audiences, both limited in person and via video feed, enjoyed the performances and were impressed with the students perseverance in making "Charley's Aunt" come to life!
