Junie B. Jones Jr. - June 11

Bernardo Heights Middle

 End Notes 

Junie B Jones the musical.  Ask how I'm feeling & I can only say, WOW!  Bringing Junie B & her friends to life onstage has been a fun, creative process. Something really special about working with these incredible kids has been watching them reconnect to who they were when they were younger. Watching them remember silly things they did when they were little and having them tell me stories about their lives has been an honor. Our world moves at such a fast pace and this show has helped all of us to slow down and remember the simple joys of being a kid -

sugar cookies and kickball? 

Yes please!

I'd like to thank all who have supported us in this production. These kids have had a lot on their plates over the past year & I am very blessed that musical theatre remains a part of their lives.  I treasure every moment I get to work with them.  I know they will lift each other up, helping each other reach the bar set for them in all their life experiences.  

This year's promoting 8th graders are: 

Annie Blattman, Ava Manoochehri Farr, Emma Vermeer, Isabella Hesler, Kaylee Stewart, Luke Fass,

Pietra Capotosto, Sophia Moss, and William Buck.

I wish them many joy filled memories & many awesome adventures in the years to come.  

Thank you to the people without whom, this production would not exist:

Nancy Casey for sharing her love of music and musical theatre

Stuart Holmes for all of his technical expertise 

Danny Newbanks whose sets never disappoint

Mary Acosta who I can always call in a pinch to help sort out wardrobe emergencies

Our amazing custodial staff who are always so helpful and kind

Our administrative team who truly believe in and encourage the arts here at BHMS

And finally, our wonderful parents who are always willing to pitch in and help and have been so gracious and flexible during this ever changing production.
