Last week, FMHS Drama students had an exciting trip to Prince Albert to see Bear Grease the Musical! 🎭✨

It was a fun and meaningful learning experience, and students also had the special chance to meet and talk with members of the cast.

A big thank you to teacher Jhazley Pinzon and chaperone Jagjot Singh for supporting the students during the trip. 🙂

This week, ADEA toured with Rhael McGregor in Black Lake, Fond Du Lac, and Wollaston! ✨

Rhael McGregor is a Métis and two-spirit/queer comic artist based in Winnipeg. Since 2018, Rhael has been passionately telling stories in which they hope all readers can see themselves.
