Three cheers for "Inside the Lines"!

The cast and crew of "Inside the Lines" won a gold medal at the METG's Middle School One Act Festival this past weekend.  Students also received several awards in a variety of categories. Congratulations!

The following students won All Star Awards:

For Acting:
     Will Glovsky
     Kate Riccio
     Bryn Smith

For Costume Design:
     Miranda Maciejowski
     Emily Minster
     Helen Peppler
     Connor Ryan

For Lighting Design:
     Michelle Morency

Michelle Morency also received the HIGHLY COVETED Stage Manager's Award!  The Stage Manager's Award is given to only one school on festival day, and while we firmly believe that quality and pride in our work count for more than medals and rankings, we worked really hard to earn this one because of what it represents.  The stage managers from the host school are asked to present this award to the school that shows the most respectful, positive, and cooperative attitude during our tech day and festival day.  We're so pleased that our students served as such great ambassadors for Miles River, and that Michelle's amazing work was noticed and appreciated.
