At the end of the school year we received an email saying they were in search of a very young looking 8th grade and 3rd grade girl to play the roles of Brigitta and Gretl in the high school's upcoming musical The Sound of Music. Kadyn and Haley went to the audition with high hopes and walked away with the roles they had desired. They worked hard for seven weeks with some of the most amazing high school students we have ever met, and I have worked a great deal with amazing youth. These Juniors and Sophomores were kind, respectful, and always positive and uplifting to Kadyn, Haley, and the rest of the younger cast members. The show went up at the end of Sept. and was a complete hit. It sold out for three nights in a row, turning away 60 plus individuals each night. Maria (Meg) and Captain von Trapp (Michael) were two of the cast members that truly took the girls under their wings. They even come down to the middle and elementary school now each week just to visit them. It was such a fantastic experience and has been an answer to our prayers in helping the girls feel a solid bond to their new school and surroundings.
