Mrs. Dougal's sixth grade students enjoyed a backstage look into Frozen, the musical production based on the Disney movie of the same name.
Holly Valentine, Director of Education for the Rochester Broadway Theater League, spoke to the class about what happens backstage of the production to make the characters come alive for the audience.
The students learned that Elsa's beautiful gown is covered with over 40,000 Swarovski crystals and stones!
Mrs. Valentine also shared that it takes two people to play the role of Sven in Frozen. It is a highly physically taxing job to play the role, requiring the person to be on their hands and feet in a plank position for extended periods of time.
Next week Mrs. Dougal is taking her class to see Frozen at RBTL's West Herr Auditorium Theater. What a treat!

The students showed her their appreciation for all that she has done
for them and the staff, over many years of service to York Central School.
This was not farewell - we expect to see Mrs. Palmer as she will be filling in for staff absences when needed.
Thank you Mrs. Palmer!
On these final summer days Mr. Keenan's 8th grade Technology students put the sun to the test with a solar project.
They designed a solar cooker in order to cook marshmallows and chocolate to make a s'more. The students started by researching solar cookers and looking at some past student examples, and from there they moved on to brainstorming, planning, and building their own design.
Finally, it was time to place their solar cookers outside and let the sun do it's job.
The students observed placement of their solar cookers, length of time in the sun and whether there was any cloud cover.
The best part of the project was when the chocolate and marshmallow were just right and ready to be placed between two layers of graham crackers.
Mmm! Delicious!
Congratulations to YCS Senior Wide Receiver Jake Pangrazio named Section V Offensive Player of the Week!
