Students Take Center Stage

The Lower Elementary performances are a collaboration between our classroom teachers and our music teachers. Our youngest students stand on a stage and deliver memorized lines, lyrics, and choreography in front of a live audience.

“Our students learn how to work together as a team to accomplish a goal, build confidence, and remember and follow a sequence of instructions,” says Trudy Davis, Director of Lower School. “They also learn how to speak in a way that others will listen; how to listen rather than just hear; understand that their words and opinions are important; and that they have the power to influence, teach, and entertain others. These essential skills are the basis of our public speaking and performing arts curriculum at GCDS LES.”
