They felt that they were being noticed for their hard work and that someone who they'd never even met believed in them! \r\nThese items will be used by our students involved in the cast and crew of The SpongeBob Musical: Youth Edition! Our production is entirely lead by students. As their director, I have the honor of giving them the tools they need, and then watching them grow and thrive as they lead the way.

Seeing them crack open a book, read a chapter on their own, and think critically about social issues is the most refreshing experience that a teacher can have. Having read highly-engaging texts that are examples of classic literature is what will make our students stand out from the rest. \r\n\r\nOur job seems simple: Teach them to read.
