The WL-S 7th and 8th grade choir went to the Holland Theatre yesterday to see a production of Moana Jr.!

Ashlyn Taylor- Gramma Tala
Abigail Frederick- Tomatoa
Alexa Beard, Cecilia Kerns, Silas Kerns- Ensemble
Jessa Beard- Stage Crew,
Illa Kerns and Sophia Holland- Spotlights
Great job to our students who took part in the production!
