Article: 2-4th Grade Play
By Lucy McElwain
The 2nd through 4th graders are putting on the play 101 Dalmatians and have been working hard after school practicing for the big day (likely in early December)! They are doing an amazing job so far and we can’t wait to see them perform and show off all their hard work! Staring in the play Cruella De Vil will be played by Ella Abair, Roger is being played by Owen Twombley, Anita being played by Eliza Borst, Pongo is being played by Cassidy Valencia, Perdita being played by Maria Kimball those are just 5 of some of the top parts in the play 101 Dalmatians but there are so many other amazing cast members as well! Keep up the great work!

Hi my name is Niah Celestin, I’m in fifth grade and I am excited to join Raider Reporter this year. I enjoy reading, drawing, writing, and playing my clarinet in my free time, if my little sister isn’t annoying me. I like writing scary stories or ones inspired by fairytales. Overall I’m excited to see what we will write about this year.
