Northwestern High School

  Director's Notes  

 

Welcome to Cinderella

 

First, I would like to thank all of the Parents/Guardians/Neighbors; you were the unpaid ubers, the therapists, and the cheerleaders that made this show possible. Thank you for encouraging your students and helping them to learn about commitment and teamwork. Each and every one of these kids has grown exponentially during these last few months.

 

To everyone in attendance, thank you for making time to support these kiddos and help to make our performances more memorable.

 

To my cast and crew - What can I say? It's been a long and winding road to get here and that makes these performances even sweeter. I am so proud of every single one of you! Crew - I have never seen a group of kids so eager to make sure they are doing everything they can. What am I going to do next year if this groups breaks up!?!?!  Cast - Just WOW! Veterans helping newbies, newbies brining new energy, everyone encouraging each other: seeing all of this happening has been the most unexpected blessing of this entire experience. 

 

Kel & April: The two of your are invaluable to me as colleagues and friends These students truly got the best of the best because you both gave up your time and families to be here.

 

The set and flowers and concessions and sound and and and... would not have come together without the help of my dad, Mrs. Limes, Mrs. Martin, Mr. Renegar, Mrs. Via, Ms. Jahna, and Mrs. Largent.  I am thankful beyond words for time, talent, and experience.

 

We are all so so lucky to have Mr. Kane Feltner and some of our band students here to provide live music!! Thank you to all of our professional musicians taking the time to help us out. Biggest thanks to Felter for being a jack of all trades and a wonderful colleague.

 

NHS/NJHS Staff, I feel so supported by you all. If you're here, make sure to come back and say hi.

 

Thank you SO much to our custodial and maintenance staff. Gentlemen, I promise to leave you alone for a few months. : )

 

Last but not least, thank you to my husband and my Mom for picking up the slack whileG and I have been so busy. Lastly, all my love to my kids, Gwen and Jensen, for not giving Daddy and Grammy too much of a hard time.

 

Please sit back, relax, enjoy the show.

 

Mrs. Alyssa Springer
