Dear LAPA,
It's been exciting working with so many new faces and getting to know you all! We've enjoyed being on this journey with you, and you've succeeded before you've even stepped foot on stage with your dedication and courage.
Older kids, thank you for being role models and giving your time and expertise to help mentor our younger students. You have learned so much being on the director's side of things, and we are amazed at all of the great things you are capable of!
Mr.Glickstein, Mrs. Kageno, and Mr. Beckwith
