Dumas Elementary Success Club production of the play We Care.

Community Highlight

Summer 2003 -- Mrs. Lee, Dumas Elementary, created a winning combination for her students this year. Her Success Club mounted a production of the play, We Care.

Besides rehearsing and memorizing their lines, students created their own set and did their own publicity. They also created a public awareness campaign about drugs, one of the themes of the play.

Everyone worked long hours with parents bringing students back to school for evening rehearsals.

 

GEAR UP clubs provide a way to offer students enrichment activities that are fun and interesting. They also provide teachers with opportunities to develop project based learning activities that involve providing students with a number of real life learning experiences.
