4th-8th Grade Drama Club Students present "Alice in Wonderland" written by Jennifer Reif and provided to us by The Drama Notebook on Wednesday May 3rd at 5:30pm. Come fall down a rabbit hole for a 20 minute version of this classic tale.
Students are also fundraising with their own hand-crafted character boxes that will be on display and available for donations and encouraging cards to be left. These will be located in the hallway by the elementary gym, and the money earned will be used for each drama student for the upcoming show for next school year. (If the student, chooses not to participate in Drama Club next year, they can use their earnings toward another extracurricular activity.
Thank you for your support of the arts and of Bluford Grade School's Drama Club!
