A Life with Purpose
25th school year started
After a successful summer program and musical theater workshops, the classes at both locations of the school have started. This year will be dedicated to our 25th school year, culminating in a grand anniversary bang. 
Mrs. Vero has her hands full registering everyone and classes are filling up with returning students and with those that are joining for the first time. Teachers Arlene Halley, Susha Hien, Jennifer Halley, Stacy Hien and assistants Zoya Hyman and Nadia John are brimming with new ideas and surely during this special year, many times the audience will have chance to view.
