New Drama Club - Presentation and Meeting Thursday, January 15 at 8:10 AM

Discovery School is starting an after-school Drama program! The program will consist of two after-school classes, separated by age: Class I=1st thru 5th grade and Class II=6th thru 12th grade. Class I will meet either Monday or Wednesday (to be discussed) and Class II will meet Tuesday AND Thursday. Students will have the opportunity to work alone and in groups. They will develop skills in several types of theatre (such as drama and improv) as well as increase enjoyment and appreciation for the performing arts. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in a recital (3rd quarter) and a play (4th quarter).

Please plan to attend a schoolwide assembly Thursday the 15th in the gym, starting at 8:10 a.m. Students will participate in a brief introduction to drama. This will give parents the opportunity to get a sense of what the program will be about. We will also have information sheets, volunteer sign-ups and a question and answer session. The timeline in the morning will look something like this:

8:10 students arrive and begin assembly; (what is Drama?)
8:30 elementary students are dismissed; secondary students and parents have Question-and-Answer with drama teacher.
8:50 secondary students dismissed for class. assembly over.

See you there!
