Students perform “Junie B. Jones Jr, The Musical”

This morning (Thursday, March 27) the Prairie Vista PUMAS Club put on quite show for their fellow students! This morning’s performance was a dress rehearsal for the evening performances of the student production of “Junie B. Jones Jr, The Musical” taking place March 27^th and 28^th here at school.

This year’s show has nearly 80 fourth and fifth students participating under the musical direction of teacher Mrs. Amy Gallo.

This is the 13th annual musical production for the PUMAS Club. Mrs. Gallo founded the PUMAS in 2001 as a way to expand on the previously existing “Vista Voices,” which was a select group of 30 fourth and fifth grade students who put on bi-annual concerts. Mrs. Gallo wanted to open up PUMAS to all interested third through fifth grade students. The PUMAS met for four weeks and performed three times per year at holiday sing-a-longs, March to the Arts, and spring celebrations. By 2005, the student interest grew to 120 student members! It was such a large group that in 2006, PUMAS had to be scaled back to just fourth and fifth graders.

Prairie Vista is very lucky to have such a talented group of students!
