Student Spotlight: Gabriela J.
Gabriela J. is a ninth grader at our school and recently performed in the North Salem High School production of Chicago: Teen Edition. Gabriela, we vigorously applaud you! Willamette Connections Academy’s very own Gabriela J. had a key role in the recent production of Chicago: Teen Edition, playing the character “June.” She also sang, danced, and juggled scarves to help make the play wonderful.
Along with her family and friends, our school’s English teachers Ms. Barton and Mrs. Schaeffer were on hand to support Gabriela in her marvelous theatrical debut.
