Being able to see where they've traveled, how their families have grown, what they've gone on to do are just of the pieces of news that bring educators joy after their students move on "to the real world."
From time to time, a post stands out to me as it relates to the young people with whom we currently work. An example of such a post was on Facebook yesterday. The post in the photo is about CHS Class of 2014 alumnus, Seth Burgess.
Seth is a very talented student, musician, and actor who was able to hone his craft with the Corner Theatre Academy. He is currently performing in Theatre Downtown's production of Rozencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.
Through the hard work of Mike Putman and Debra Reeser, students at Corner High School like Seth have been given opportunities to work on the stage as performers and/or behind the scene on the technical side of the program. They've earned scholarships, winning job opportunities, and developing many skills applicable to work and life in general.
This week, current CTA teacher/director, Megan Garner and her students at Corner High School, are wrapping up two weeks of CTA Summer Youth Camp. During this time they have prepared students from Corner Middle School and Bagley Elementary to perform Aladdin Jr. this Thursday and Friday night in the CHS auditorium at 7:00 P.M.
Our CMS students have spent a week and a half already learning more than just putting on a play. They have learned essential communication skills, team/community building skills, and confidence as they prepare to perform in front of family, friends, and the community.
Please go to www.cornertheatre.org or the Corner Theatre Academy's Facebook page to get more information on the shows and how you can support the students and their work. If you'd like more information on how you can see Seth and his fellow castmates at Theatre Downtown, go to www.theatredowntown.org.
I look forward to seeing the show this weekend, and as I watch, I will wonder, "Is there a Linc Hand, Noah Holcomb, Seth Burgess, or one of a dozen more CHS graduates who've gone on to perform after high school on that stage right now?"
I encourage you to come and celebrate these amazing young people and the CTA's work this weekend!
