During their performance of “Star Search,” second-grade students share that it’s not about being the biggest and brightest, but about "being humble and being kind if you really wanna be a star.”

Sixth grade students perform “Bethlehem Traffic Jam” and “Just a Shepherd” at the Beginning Theatre and Choir event in December. Both productions were original works by Middle School English teacher Mr. Aaron Watson.
