🎭❤️Our theatre department’s fabulous performers, designers and tech operators deserve a huge round of applause! The students in our show “Walk Two Moons,” gave an incredible, beautiful, and remarkably enjoyable performance. The entire theater buzzed with excitement! Our students poured their hearts and souls onto that stage, and for that, my heart is very happy. After all was said and done, (and a tough, incredibly talented lineup!) the judges placed us in the top four and we graciously accept!
🏅Jesus Serna, 8th grader, and 🏅Janelle Martinez, 7th grader, were honored with prestigious awards for their exceptional acting and in their performances. 🏅Asael Vargas, 8th grader, received a Tech award for his outstanding sound operation. Additionally, four Theatre design projects from our talented design team were recognized yesterday. 🏅Kylee Gonzales (set design), 8th grade, 🏅Maricruz Deleon, 7th grade (costume and makeup design) and 🏅Kenzie Cano (costume design), 6th grade were the recipients of these top design awards. Their creative work is featured below. I want to express my deepest gratitude to our teachers, office staff, UIL coordinator, and administrators for their unwavering support of the Theatre Department at Vela Middle School. And to my students, I want to say a heartfelt thank you!
