Junior Thespian State Competition

Please help me to congratulate our Jr. Thespian Drama Troupe who competed at the State level on Friday and Saturday (2/13,14) in Plantation, Florida. They were wonderful! Not only did their talent shine through- but also their professionalism and poise. (Other teachers and chaperones remarked on how well-behaved and polite our students were!) The judges were tough, but they provided insight that will only help our young artists grow even more. Our performers came home with the following accolades:
