Lincoln Park Academy Theatre just returned from their first ever trip to the big city. LPA theatre took 21 students to New York City to experience the bright lights, Broadway and the history of NYC. These students saw two-star studded Broadway shows, took masterclasses with Broadway professionals, toured the Museum of Broadway and visited numerous sights to see in the city. Many students experienced their first Broadway show! It was truly the trip of a lifetime.
The 7th grade students at Manatee Academy are advancing on to the Project Citizen State competition after earning 1st place for their project, “Center of Attention”. The students conducted thorough research and interviewed both professionals and city officials alike to establish an action plan that would encourage the production of more venues and family-oriented events at the Civic Center and throughout St. Lucie County. Recently, the students presented the plan before City Council with high hopes of their support. Best wishes to Mr. Young and his students as they move on to states!
