Good Morning, We use Sherwin Williams Super paint in semi-gloss. I could not convince our school system's paint department to go with flat.

Amanda, Have you tried any yoga? Deep breathing and some stretches to get out some energy can help. Maybe try an 8 count shake out first. Or just make them run laps.

Congrats on a new adventure Molly! How exciting! I feel you on the millions of editions of the Alice stories to read. We have performed the Brainerd Duffield version, it was my favorite- though I cut out the walrus and the carpenter as well as the mock turtle (my preference and with permission!). It ...

One of the best rapport builders I have used in the last few years is an escape room. I created one theatre themed based on a few Pinterest posts. It's fun! It give the kids a chance to work together and solve a problem, and gives me a chance to see how they work together, and who has what skills. It ...

We cast Lancelot as a girl! She was amazing! We also have each knight a sidekick, not just Arthur. It worked really well for us! I had to cut the Lancelot song, song, so everything worked out in the end. -- Hillary Bogers, MEdshe/her/hers Theatre Director Jack Britt High School 910-429-2800 ...

We did Wizard of OZ, or WOO! as we like to call it ;), without real flying. I set up a 40" platform upstage and had 2 boys dressed in all black pop him (our witch was a male) up cheerleader style onto the platform from the US side. It gave the impression that she was flying. Boys crouched, cupped hands ...

I do not know if the program still exists, but I would start there. Since you probably only need the theatre courses ...
