R.J. Lockhart Elementary School students recently made their debut at 199 Pittsburgh Avenue, just "off Broadway" in their full-school production of A Tribute to Rodgers and Hammerstein. Two hundred and twenty-five students from grades 1 - 6 participated in this after-school club, attending rehearsals since the end of January to prepare for this moment and audiences gasped in wonderment. This production was a full, cooperative effort among teachers, students, administrators and parents. The entire Lockhart community worked as a team and produced an incredible show complete with sets, costumes and even a parent-teacher orchestra. FULL STORY
