Thank You!

Thank you for a great year. We appreciate your support of your 6th graders and we are excited to see what the 7th grade year brings for them. Encourage your child to read this summer. There is nothing quite like reading to help with academic gains across grade levels. Have a phenomenal summer, but remind your students: summer doesn't start until Thursday. We still have a half a week of school ahead. Let's end strong.

Aurora Theatre Academy Summer Musical Camps

The Aurora Theatre Academy has nine summer camps happening between June 5th-July 29th. These camps were created with young performing artist talent in mind. They include musicals, bootcamps, straight plays, acting for film, costuming, and songwriting.

This year we have two separate summer musical camps to give our high school performers the platform they deserve.

Finding Nemo Jr. - 1st-8th

Mean Girls Jr. - 9th - 12th


If you have any Young Artist Performers that would be interested, we are asking that you use the QR codes below.
