🎉 Happy Birthday, Shakespeare! 🎭
To celebrate the Bard’s 462nd birthday, our K–3rd grade students headed over to Southern Utah University earlier this week for Bard’s Birthday Bash!
Our young scholars had a blast diving into the world of theater, language, and history. From interactive performances to festive fun, it was the perfect way to bring the magic of the stage to life.
A huge thank you to the Utah Shakespeare Festival and SUU for hosting such a "totally tubular" celebration for our students! 🎂📜
