Students in Mrs. Nagy's and Mrs. Granato-Wagner's 5th period English class have been working on a Medieval unit, where they have read stories about King Arthur, the Round Table, and Knighthood. After learning about the stages of becoming a knight (First you're a Page, then you're a Squire, then you're dubbed a Knight), students created their own shields based on their personality traits, took the Knight's Oath, were given a special Knight name, were dubbed Knights, and then had a Medieval Feast! It was a great time had by all, and they even had a special "friend" join in on the Knighting Ceremony! We are extremely excited that one of our CD students will be playing the character, Lurch, at the Andrew High School’s theatre production of The Addams Family.
We are significantly proud of all the work that this student put into rehearsals, classes, and his part time job. It is an exhausting combination and we are so impressed with his work ethic. Please, show your support and have a great social plan either as a family or students may want to do this as a friend social plan. This production is appropriate for all ages and tickets can be purchased for adults ($8) and students ($6). Performances are Thursday, April 28th and Friday, April 29th at 7:00 PM and on Saturday, April 30th at 3:00 pm. We hope to see you there! Synopsis of the play, The Addams Family: Watch little Wednesday Addams take a large step into adulthood - marriage to Lucas Beineke! Uncle Fester helps the audience and the Beineke family learn how to love being a little bit different and welcoming that special someone into our lives. Come join Gomez, Morticia, Pugsley, Grandma, Lurch and the rest of The Addams Family as we watch Wednesday take the next big step in her life! The Communication Development Program is fortunate to have a variety of student learners, in which we are able to appreciate the diverse abilities and talents. A part of our student population includes students with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The month of April, is Autism Awareness Month. April 2nd is Autism Awareness Day. The CD Program would like to celebrate Autism and those individuals who show the world how their uniqueness is a gift to all of us.
Additionally, the CD Program would like to commemorate our student, Daniel Joost, who passed away in February. Daniel was also on the Autism Spectrum. We miss him everyday. |
