Youth in Arts Festival

|

I was so proud of each McDonald Student last night at the Youth in Arts festival. We were able to share the stage with several DPS students from Fordson High School’s Band, to the Stout Middle School Orchestra. It was a beautiful night to celebrate music and the arts in our schools.

 

Bravo My Panthers!

Peace & Love,

-Mrs. Duncanson

Lion King Broadway Trip

We are scheduled to arrive at McDonald around 11:45pm.

Remember to thank Mrs. Modica, the teachers, and your parents for allowing us to go on such a special trip! Lion King was so full of fun music, costumes, and effects -what an amazing show!

In order to get home faster, some students missed out on purchasing souvenirs. Below is the link to purchase the official Lion King Gear:
