Drama
The Drama director is the school's music teacher, Mrs. Elizabeth Rollins. There are two productions each year. Every fall and spring any student who wishes to be in the play auditions, those who wish only to be on the tech crew are welcome to come, but need not audition. Many who audition for a role in the play also apply to be in the tech crew if they do not get a part. There are two audition days so children who are sick the first day may make it up the next day, or vice-versa; if the auditioning child is well both days, they are expected to attend both.
