Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again.

This quote is from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, (Act 4, Scene 3), and it appears to be an appropriate sentiment for the last post on this site, now titled "Homeschool Drama Class."  It is the combined work of two drama class activities for approximately five years.  It was used as a way to help connect with students and parents and to encourage the study of literature through the medium of acting and the theater.  I have seen many students attain knowledge, increase skills, gain confidence, overcome personal obstacles, and create lifelong friendships.

Thank you to all the students that taught me more than I could ever attempt to teach you!  Thank you to all the parents that spent many hours helping in class, sewing and compiling costumes, building sets, sorting properties and selling tickets or concessions.  Parents and students working together promotes everything homeschool is about; learning together! 
I would also like to thank two special mom's that helped this Drama Mama become a better director by taking on the all important job of "stage manager."  The Lord brought these two ladies into my life to help with this class, and to become my friends. Thank you Denise and Alicia!

I am always glad to hear when my past students have gone into successful careers or are excelling at college, but as John said: I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.  (III John 1:4).  I pray that each student passing though one of my classes will use the skills they gained for the opportunity to serve God.   Have no fear, friends, I am not leaving the world of homeschool theater.  If you would like to join me for further adventures in theater, literature and language arts, visit SELAH, Southside Enrichment for Language Arts and History.  Farewell!  God knows when we shall meet again!

Thank you Classic Players and Young Thespians!
