Performer

Chad Crews visited our school February 27th.  He performed a show titled “Authors of Mystery and Horror.”  Chad used magic to captivate our student audience and to encourage everyone to read stories by famous classical authors, such as Poe, Stoker,  and Doyle.  He did a great job!  Our students were very entertained.  Here’s an excerpt of his performance:

Poetry Alive

 

Poetry Alive is a performance group based out of Asheville, NC.  They use acting to help students become engaged with the text – specifically, poetry.  They truly are a phenomenal group.  Poetry Alive presented to our school on March 27th.  Our students had a great time participating in the poetry re-enactments!  This podcast is an excerpt from the 7th grade presentation.  A special thanks to our two engaging performers – L’Tanya and Brad!
