A complete education means more than reading, writing and arithmetic.

To educate the whole child, students need to be challenged physically, spiritually, culturally and socially. One segment of education has the potential to meet all these needs: The arts.

KCS believes the theatrical arts will enhance academic and social development of our students by providing opportunities to explore and hone skills related to public speaking, expression, dance and choreography, voice projection, visual arts and music. In the process we hope to prepare students to become well-rounded citizens by also promoting the less quantifiable traits, such as leadership, teamwork, organization, commitment and service. The dramatic arts contribute to the education of the whole child, by stimulating imagination, creativity, reasoning, expression and communication. KCS believes an expanded fine arts program will enhance literacy in many forms, because participation requires the child play an active role with an applied mind.

With this in mind, KCS began a Drama Club in the fall of 2005. This initial venture into the dramatic arts was a resounding success and expansion opportunities were explored. In June of 2006, KCS was awarded a 3 year, $15,000 grant designed to expand the Drama Club into a functioning Drama Department. On May 3rd & 4th, KCS students presented "School House Rock - Live" to great reviews! This Broadway Junior production incorporated 26 students in a comedy that walked the audience through the first day jitters of a first time teacher. Over 400 people attended and walked away giving rave reviews!

This years production will be "The Adventures of Peter Rabbit and His Friends". It will be presented on Thursday and Friday, May 1st and 2nd at 7:00 pm (doors open at 6:30). Tickets are available for $3 (students) and $5 (adults). Come out and enjoy this great presentation!
