      I am so honored to work with such talented young actors here at Vernon. The students strive every day to bring their characters to life on stage. Since the onset of rehearsals, I could see the energy level was high and the students were ready.  These young performers and crew members take on new challenges daily and rise to the occasion. Our drama program gives these brave young actors the opportunity to "Go With The Flow" and "Just Keep Swimming" on stage!

     To my 6th graders, I would like to thank you for being role models that inspire the younger actors. Some of you have been with me for several years now and I am so proud of your personal growth and dedication to the program! I am sad to see you go, but I know you will continue your theatrical journey at Oyster Bay High School. Remember to just keep swimming! 

     I would like to thank Dr. Ianni, Ms. Raynor, and the Board of Education for providing this opportunity for our students. These productions afford students a place to learn about theater and the excitement it can bring to an audience. A very special thank you to Mr. Nelson, Ms. Smith, and Ms. Giglio Pac for all of your support! Thank you to Ms. LeMar, Ms. Sanchez, Ms. Collins, and Mr. Placella for all you have done to help make this production a success. I am so grateful to have such a dedicated custodial and secretarial staff. Last, but not least, I would like to thank my family for their time and devotion to costumes, props, set pieces, painting, and me! I would like to also thank the families of Mr. Costidis, Ms. Kemp, and Ms. Pinnola. We are thankful for your love and support!

Places everyone, and BREAK A LEG! (or a fin)

Sincerely,

    Ms. Chiappardi
