École Île-des-Chênes School performed a fantastic version of The Little Mermaid Jr. at their spring musical in three performances on March 16–17. Kailyn O’Keefe played Ariel and Joshua Dowse played Prince Eric. The students were directed by principal Sandra Turcotte.
Students in Grades 4–6 were involved in all aspects of the production, including acting, sound, lights, hair, make-up, and set design. The choir was made up of students in Grades 1–3.
Money raised from admission goes towards developing the drama program and acquiring equipment and costumes to continue the musicals on an annual basis.
“It is an amazing schoolwide endeavour that really brings the school and community together,” says Sandra Turcotte. “These are experiences that enrich students’ learning. Something they will remember forever.”
