🎭✨ Columbus Middle School Theater had an unforgettable trip to Omaha this week! 29 of our students were able to participate in Master Classes with Hamilton the musical! One group joined a dance workshop led by a cast member, while the other had the chance to meet the incredible backstage crew, asking lots of questions about how they manage props, wigs, sound, and more. It was an amazing learning opportunity for all, and we’re so grateful to the Nebraska Theater Academy for hosting this event! 🎶🎬

Back at the beginning of the school year — on just the second day — our 7th graders were challenged to draw a mental map of the world (that’s a map drawn completely from memory!). Fast forward to today, after a year of studying geography, exploring maps, and learning about countries around the globe, they took on the same challenge once again. The results? Absolutely amazing. The growth is undeniable — check out just a few examples of our incredible improvement!
