Another one of my favorite schools to return to is Christa McAuliffe Middle School in Jackson, NJ. These students are so lucky to have the wonderful Jamie Boccia as a SAC helping them in countless ways throughout every moment of their time as McAuliffe. This group really got into their parts in the program as many of them were used to performing in front of their peers. At McAuliffe, the performances are held in the cafeteria and it is always powerful to me to see how quiet the cafeteria can become when this performance is going on. The performers held the attention of each grade in their school and maintained that focus during their debriefing sessions.

I was so grateful for the opportunity to work with this wonderful group and I know their voices were definitely heard by their classmates. Well done! I hope Beauty and the Beast is just about ready for performance!! Break a leg!
