Hello Fabulous Folks,
February is known for celebrating love in all its expressions—sweet little crushes, supportive friendships, and the love we invest in our community through our volunteer and service efforts.
I had the pleasure of spending time with the MSA Theatre community as they hit the road and enjoyed the Lenaea Theatre Festival in Folsom over the weekend. Over 50 students and another 20 chaperoning parents showed love and support for one another in various adjudicated events, including a stellar performance of Midsummer Nights Dream. We had to adjust to stormy weather and quick car changes and lots of emotion but we did it—together (read more here).
I implore our adult community to take a moment to show the love through survey feedback. Our students took their version of the survey today. We need your thoughts too! If you haven’t already done so, please take the Youth Truth family survey. The link is ytsurvey.org/nusdfamily24.
With so much appreciation for all the ways we work together to creatively support our kiddos,
Michelle Cortez
P.S. I’m going to San Jose Middle School’s performance of Moana this weekend in our own Center for the Arts. I hear its fabulous. Go! I hope to see you there!
