Learning Intention of the Week – Volunteer Tea Performance 

Students practiced and performed a musical-style performance inspired by the Trolls movie for the Volunteer Tea. They worked collaboratively to sing songs, create and perform dances, and speak character lines with expression and confidence. Students also contributed to the performance environment by designing and decorating troll-themed rock centerpieces for the tables.
