Welcome back, GFAA family! I hope everyone's spring break was wonderful! Here are a few random - but important - reminders and updates...
Tomorrow is open house! I'd love to see and meet as many family members as possible, so be sure to stop by the theatre and dance rooms if you have time. I'll have some of the older kids' current design projects out for them to show you if they'd like.
Make sure to check out the new updates to our "Auditions around Town" board, right outside the dance studio! It will have information on three different auditions coming up for the musicals My Fair Lady, Annie Get Your Gun, and Gypsy. There will also be some info on some great children's theatre going on currently in the metroplex!
This Tuesday, March 20th was "World Theatre for Children and Young People Day." Whew, that's a mouthful! But it's of course something that I'm very passionate about. It's a little late, but here is a nice, short article about the importance on theatre in our youths' lives.
Also, don't forget that next week on Tuesday and Wednesday we have STAAR testing for some of our upper grades. I'm sure our All Stars will rock that test. :)
I hope to see you tomorrow!

Happy Spring Break to all!
Time has gotten away from me these past few weeks! Let's play a little catch-up, shall we?
*1st grade performed their fabulous PTA show "E-I-E-I-OOPS!" We had the most talented goats, sheep, ducks, chicks, and pigs I've ever seen. :)
*The GFAA Carnvial was a great success- thanks in huge part to our fantastic PTA. The All Star Dancers started out the talent show with a super performance. Those 18 girls make me prouder and prouder each week. Hopefully I will be able to post some videos of their performances soon!
*The All Star Dancers also had their official yearbook photo shoot! Here are some of my favorites-
*The new theatre performance group, the All Star Players, has begun rehearsals for a short play of "Hansel & Gretel." The plan is to perform for our younger grades at Garner. These 18 fourth and fifth graders have also been impressing me with their talents!
*3rd through 5th grade classes have been working on a really cool theatre design project in class recently. We will finish these up after spring break. Can't wait to post pictures!
*Last, but not least, Garner had another wonderful piece written about it by the Arlington News Network! Read it here. Everytime we have visitors, it reminds me of what a blessing this place is!
Whew. Life is crazy, but a blast! I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing week off!
