Clark Public Schools
Students at Valley Road School in Clark performed Disney’s Frozen JR. on Thursday March 31st. This spectacular 60-minute musical was based on the 2013 Disney film and the 2018 Broadway adaptation. The 4thand 5th grade cast included 40 students led by Mrs. Jackie Kozlowski, Ms. Caitlin McHugh, and Mrs. Kerry Kennedy.
According to Kozlowski, “Students participating in the play worked very hard learning their lines, songs, and dances. While participating in a school musical production students are able to have fun, build self-confidence, practice critical thinking and problem solving skills, get creative, work as a team, and many more valuable skills. Every role – whether onstage or behind the scenes – is vital for the show’s success.”
