Despite the safety precautions we are taking for COVID-19, our girls are still able to act, dance, sing, and create amazing art. Movement and music for early childhood is being taught outside by Ms. Crowley, and in upper school Ms. Collins conducts Vocal Point under a canopy of trees, playing a piano rigged on a cart while girls wear their own headset microphones. Dance is taught on our theatre stage to give girls more space to move, and theatre class is taught in our dance studio. Our visual arts teachers have created individual art kits to avoid sharing.
