In January and February, students in grades 1 and 2 participated in the STARS (Students That Are Rising Stars) Program. The program is open to all students in those grades who enjoy singing and dancing. Due to our large numbers and tight scheduling, the performers only had 5 practices! (Grade 2 had only 4 practices because of snow!) Evening performances were held on January 28th for the 1st grade and March 4 for the 2nd grade.

Students and parents enjoyed the lively current and classic tunes as well as the dancing. During the second grade dress rehearsal, second grade spectators were literally dancing in the aisles as performers did the Cha, Cha, Slide!

STARS is an outlet for students to experience public performing; many teachers and parents have commented that students who are normally quiet reserved really shine and show a different side of themselves when on stage.

Anyone who attended the show could see how much hard work--and talent--went into its production. Many thanks to the teachers, Mrs. King, Mrs. Carbonaro, Mrs. Moraitis, and Mrs. Molnar (aka Mrs. Stevens), and to the children, for putting on such a great performance!
