[edit] Events

Currently, there is a school-wide project going on about Beauty and the Beast. The students evaluate the Disney movie, then make stained glass windows and magazines set in medieval or renaissance times. They are also learning the waltz, an important element in the story. On Thursday, December 14, the entire school will be traveling to Portland, Oregon to see Beauty and the Beast on stage, and comparing the two stories.
