Bayside Academy Students Presented Dracula
Bayside Academy students had a successful run performing The Passion of Dracula. Held in the Pilot Center Theatre, the students performed to great crowds earlier this month. According to director Tim Kirby, “I could not have been happier with The Passion of Dracula. The cast and crew did an amazing job bringing this passion project of mine to life. I could not have asked for a great group of students with which to work. I’m still receiving accolades about how professionally the students performed. Next up, we fly in Peter Pan.” Posted 11/26/12
Bayside Academy Students Paint Mural
Bayside Academy fourth graders recently created a mural that was installed in Head of School Peter Huestis’s office. The 16-piece mural, entitled “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten,” is painted on tar paper with acryllic paint. Each three- to four-student group was assigned a portion of the book written by Robert Fulghum and collaborated to design the final illustration that would be a part of the mural. Posted 11/26/12
