Bethel Middle School presents Seussical Jr. By Brittany Arlene Jackson Bethel Middle School families and members of the communi- ty enjoyed an exciting perfor- mance of Seussical Jr. based on the works of Dr. Seuss on No- vember 13 and November 14 at the Bethel Auditorium. This is only the second year junior high students have put on a musical production. Under the direc- tion of elementary school music teacher, Lara Wolford and Beth- el alum, Catie Rash, the color- ful, 51-student cast sang and danced to long-loved musical pieces like “Oh the Things You Can Think” and “It’s Possible” among many others. Energetic students performed to capacity crowds on Friday and Saturday.
