THANKS SPECIAL
FROM FILM PROGRAM DIRECTOR, KAREN ANN THUMM
This special evening wouldn’t be possible without Mike Davis, our Technical Director and Theater Manager. Thank you so much for everything you do, Mike! I love the big screen and the swanky new projector, but above all, I appreciate your big heart.
Thank you to Nathan Michael for creating the trailer for our festival this year. You did a fantastic job, Nathan!
Thank you to our President, Rob Webb, our Principal, Luis Guerra, and our Vice Principals Jenn Poole, Mathew Judge, and Lisa Magorien. I am grateful for an administration that values the arts programs at Chaminade the way that you do!
And a shout out to my fellow arts educators at Chaminade – Yvette Bishop, Amber Jackson, Sara Greenberg-Hart, Jordan Lewis, and Jackie Ward –thank you for being the outstanding teachers you are. It is no small feat to create a program where young artists can thrive, and our school boasts six such programs, each lead by an incredibly talented and astonishingly dedicated professional. I am grateful to be able to work with all of you! Bravo, Chaminade Arts!
