Welcome Spring

Welcome to a new month, Brooklyn. It is hard to believe that this school year will conclude in less than three months. Time flies when you are having fun, right?

Speaking of fun, senior pit crew member Zach Messeri is excited and ready for next week’s performance of The Little Mermaid.   

In his final year with the pit band, Messeri is happy to spend the last few moments waiting for next week’s show to commence. 

“This musical is exciting because it feels fresh and modern. There is a lot of hype around The Little Mermaid. My favorite memory of being a part of the pit is the feeling of opening night! Also, ‘Under the Sea’ is a fun number, which will be most exciting for the audience.” 

Zach, good luck next week. You also need to break a leg!

Speaking of the musical, it’s showtime! Come out and support Brooklyn High School’s Drama Club for their annual Spring Musical. The Little Mermaid will be performed on Thursday, March 14 at 7:00, Friday, March 15 at 7:00, and Saturday, March 16 at 2:00 and 7:00. Tickets are $10 at the door.

For younger grades, come attend Ariel’s “Under the Sea” Tea Party. Have the best time making crafts, getting a Tea Party shirt, and most importantly, meet the cast. Ariel, Ursula, Flounder, Sebastian, and Scuttle will all be there to take pictures. The Tea Party cost is $25 and includes one ticket to the 2:00 Saturday show. 

Last Thursday, we had an assembly with guest speaker Art Gelbart from the Kol Israel Foundation. Mr. Gelbart came to BHS to educate students about his experience as a Holocaust survivor in Poland when he was just 10-years-old. Detailing his life experiences and immigration to Cleveland, students were able to speak with a survivor and understand why it is important to continue to educate against antisemitism. Brooklyn students and staff were honored to be able to have Mr. Gelbart share his story.
