MS/US Production Camp Thanks and Reminder
Hello MS/US Teachers,
Thanks for your flexibility yesterday with students working on production throughout the day. I know this is a massive boost for the Drama team and a key piece of preparation for our students. On that note, this is likely the most challenging week of the year for most of the students involved, especially in the Middle School, due to the combination of production and exam prep. While many of our older students are familiar with establishing a balanced, proactive approach, the younger members of our MS are newer to this concept. With this in mind, thanks for your continued emotional and academic support for our students as they navigate this particularly challenging developmental stage.
