Shakespeare is coming to Seventh Grade! During the months of April and May, all seventh graders will participate through their English classes in workshops with professional actors from the Maryland Shakespeare Festival in Frederick, Maryland, through a generous grant from the Maryland State Arts Council and support from CJMS administration. Workshops will focus on A Midsummer Night’s Dream and will prepare students to read and understand this Shakespeare play in English class. Students will enjoy the Shakespeare Alive! performance on Friday, April 18th. Students in Mrs. Gilbert’s and Ms. Larrain’s classes will participate in workshops from April 21-April 25. Ms. Wolf’s students will participate in workshops from April 28-May 2. Click here for the Workshop Letter.
