March Blog

• This month has been pretty hectic. I have been working on my Independent Component and my competition pieces for the Fullerton Theatre festival. The festival ended last weekend so now I can fully focus on my Health Fair that I am organizing. 

• With the help of my mentor and the manager of the senior center, I have been able to get some     booths booked for the fair. I already have the date picked and it will take place during my spring break. I plan to be catching up on hours all week anyways. Hopefully everything comes out all right.

• It was hard this month, balancing long theatre rehearsals with mentorship hours. In the end, I was very pleased with the outcome of my hard work in Drama. I was a part of Suessical the Musical and played Mayzie the bird. We had wonderful performances and the cast was a great team. I was very proud of all our effort. even though we did not make it to finals at the competition. We got great scores anyways from the judges.  In honor of that,  I did a Dr. Suess theme drawing this month on the menu board. A picture of that can be found below with another picture of the IPoly Suessical cast.
