3rd-5th grade students at Thompson Elementary had some special visitors January 24th. Performers with the Dallas Opera came to present Mozart’s, “Bastien & Bastienne.” After enjoying the show, students learned that Mozart composed the opera when he was only 12 years old. We hope some students were inspired to create something of their own. They’re never too young to start!

Proudly Presents:
Sister Act
Based on the 1992 film, Sister Act tells the story of aspiring disco diva Deloris Van Cartier. Trying to work her way to the top in 1970s Philadelphia, Deloris falls in love with a very tough—and very married—gangster boyfriend named Curtis. When Deloris witnesses him commit a murder, she ends up in hiding on police orders in a convent as a nun. Though the sequin-free lifestyle doesn’t agree with her, Deloris finds her calling working with the choir, and breathes new life into the dusty convent while discovering a sisterhood she’s never had before.
