Last month’s presentation of Disney’s Beauty and The Beast truly was a performance to remember. All of the students did an amazing job showcasing their talent to a record-breaking audience. From the start of the show with “Belle” to “Gaston” and the invitation to “Be Our Guest” followed by the inspirational “Beauty & The Beast” each and every performance was fantastic. We are so grateful to everyone who played a role in this amazing performance, Mr. Giddens, the Fine Arts faculty & staff, and the parent supporters and sponsors who made this special show possible.
