🎭✨ What a performance by the talented students of St. Clare Walker Middle School & Middlesex Elementary Drama Clubs!
After months of rehearsals, set design, and behind-the-scenes preparation, their production of Fairytale of Misfits by Jeff Fluharty truly took the stage by storm. From the first line to the final bow, our students brought heart, humor, and incredible dedication to every moment.
Through their portrayal of these “misfit” characters, the cast reminded us all of an important message—our differences aren’t flaws, they’re our greatest strengths. 💫
We are so proud of the hard work, creativity, and teamwork that made this production such a success. Bravo to the entire cast and crew! 👏🎬

Today, we celebrate the dedication, organization, and care of our administrative professionals who support students, staff, families, and the entire school community with professionalism and heart. Their hard work behind the scenes makes a lasting impact in every building across our division.
