6th Grade Class @ Arizona Opera


(Click the Title For Arizona Opera Information)
Laughter.  Crying.  Disbelief.  And that was just the reaction of yours truly (Mr. Beaton) on the way to the show!  Interesting bus ride, I can tell you that!

Seriously though, students were well behaved on buses and at the performance.  Our Opening Minds through the Arts (OMA) integration opportunity led us to the La Boheme show this afternoon.  What a delight!  A world-class, inspiring drama.  The actors/singers were extremely talented, and the responses elicited at the end of the program were very entertaining.  Our students asked some very good questions.  I am sure the follow up lessons left in teachers' boxes will be equally amazing!

Special thanks goes out to Darden Bradshaw for her incredible work.  She organized everything from the buses, to the show, and we are certainly appreciative of her superior efforts!   Kudos Darden!
