  • JCDS alums shined in the recent Bolles' production of Shrek Jr., The Musical. Nitin Davuluri ('16) and Aisha Hassan ('17) played the lead roles of Shrek and Fiona. They both sang and acted with such ease and confidence, it was such a thrill to see them perform, Virginia Dickert, Music Specialist, said. Veronica Sippens ('18) sang a wonderful solo as Young Fiona and also played the part of Little Bo Peep. Sonia Kelpler ('18) was fantastic as the Wicked Witch. Lily Lenger ('18) beautifully sang the part of a Storyteller. Krish Patel was hysterical as Pig Three. Avinash Sagi was Little Jack Horner and Sawyer Kaufmann ('16) played Baby Shrek and the Dwarf. Our former JCDS students had a blast on the stage! I felt so proud, Ms. Dickert said.

  • Our Greek Olympics is one of the culminating activities of the 6th grade Ancient Greek unit. Students dress in Classical Greek dress and compete in games as different city-states such as Sparta and Athens. In addition to learning about Greek history and mythology, they experience the drama, art, dance, clothing, food, and games of the Greek culture. The experience helps what the 6th graders learned stay in their memory. (It is also fun as you can see.)
