This week, Pike County Masters of Music students had the opportunity to experience the magic of performing arts on stage! Grades 7-12 attended a production of Into the Woods at LaComedia Dinner Theatre, exploring classic fairy tales with a thought-provoking twist and unforgettable music. Meanwhile, our K-6 students enjoyed the vibrant, interactive performance of 123 Andrés, singing, dancing, and learning through music in both English and Spanish! After the performance, they went to lunch at Spaghetti Warehouse, where they ate lunch in a train car. These trips were made possible with a generous grant from the Ohio Arts Council.
