This grant will continue to advance our programs while offering our students the opportunity to strengthen their artistic, vocal and acting skills through weekly class- room lessons and our after school Drama Program. Our school students will exhibit their skills at our yearly Art Show, Christmas Concert, and Spring Concert. The Drama Department will continue to offer two shows a year performed by our students and open to the public. Disney’s “Mulan Jr.” was performed by our students in May with raving reviews. We extend our gratitude to the Janet Malser Humanities Trust for their continued support.
