“I want to be a singer when I grow up, too.”
“You are an amazing singer.”
“Spectacular!”
These and other words of appreciation were penned by Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School second graders to Rocky Point High School students. The older students, who created a unique virtual production, “Broadway Musical Revue,” were applauded by the younger ones in Christina Capaldi and Erin Glennon’s class and commended for their performances.
“Many of them expressed how much they enjoyed the virtual show and were inspired by our high school players,” Principal Jonathan Hart said of the numerous colorful cards filled with hearts, rainbows and kind words of admiration. In response to sending the cards to the high school students and music director Mary Donovan-Cerasuola, the 13 high school performers – Jillian Carley, Jordan Chirivas, Brenna Kiernan, Alexandria Kipp, Samantha Leversen, Jaime McPartland, Adam Olszewski, Renee Ortiz, Shreya Patel, Jacey Ruisi, Devin Siefert, Alexa Vassallo and Emmanuel Watkis – created a short thank-you video as further inspiration for the future singers and actors.
