“I am a parent volunteer at Walgrove Elementary and the P.S. ARTS theater program at our school has been an incredible and life changing experience for students and parents alike! Our theater program is truly the gem of our school. Most of the kids want to be a part of it in some way whether it’s, on stage, back stage, costumes or curtains it brings the whole community together. It sparks so much joy and excitement. We feel incredibly grateful to have the PS Arts theater program on our campus!”
