The 3rd and 4th graders of Roosa Elementary recently presented “Go West!”, a musical written by John Jacobson and Roger Emerson. This enchanting show tells the story of gold discovered in the hills of California and land being offered to settlers ready for a fresh start in the newly explored American West. Cowpokes and miners, farmers and trappers, and adventurers of all kinds journeyed across the stage as our students brought the promise of the American Dream to life.
Great job, Roosa! You put on a wonderful performance for your school, your friends, and your families!

Zebra Theatre Brings Harvey to Life! 🎭
Our Zebra Theatre students delivered a delightful performance of Mary Chase’s classic comedy, Harvey — charming the audience with wit, warmth, and plenty of laughs. The story of Elwood P. Dowd and his six-foot-tall invisible rabbit, Harvey, unfolded into a heartwarming (and hilarious) exploration of friendship, kindness, and what it truly means to be “normal.” 🐰✨
From memorable characters to laugh-out-loud moments, our students showcased incredible talent, timing, and dedication on stage. We are so proud of the hard work, creativity, and heart that went into this production. Bravo to our Zebra Theatre cast and crew for an unforgettable performance! 🦓
