MVPAA Showcase: Saturday, April 27, 2024 at 1:00pm

In the spring, at the end of our academic year, the academy will have a
showcase where most classes perform something they created in class.
We will plan to perform something that will display our strengths and
creativity; our time together will show me what that should be! :-)

Attendance:
If you know your child is going to be absent, please let me and/or
Destiny know via text/email as soon as possible (preferably by 4:00pm
that day). Feel free to use our other platforms, but if it is last minute,
this will let me know immediately.
- Please note that your child’s experience will be what they put into
it. Poor attendance could result in missed opportunities and a
hindrance on their fellow classmates/class progress.

“Why Are We Here?”

Acting I is an acting class. One is expected to work and try hard in the
classroom (and at home, when necessary) on our lessons and
materials. While we will be creating art with friends, successful
students are focused, listening, and respectful of everyone’s class
time. We need to make the best use of our short time together!

I’m so excited for Acting I this year!

I can’t wait to work with all of you, new and former students! :-)
