TeSA

TeSA Families,

We are getting closer to our spring performances! All of our performances will launch virtually in May. We will send out more information on how to access these shows as we get closer. For now, save these premiere dates:

May 7th = TeSA Presents (At-Home Students & All Art)

May 14th = Welcome to the Jungle (In-School K-1st Students)

May 21st = Dear Edwina, Jr. (In-School 2nd-6th Students)

Welcome to the Jungle animal costumes are due to Ms. Kilgore by Monday, April 12th, and Dear Edwina Jr. costumes are due by Monday, April 19th. Please ensure your child brings their items in a bag or on a hanger with their NAME clearly labeled. Your student will receive a slip acknowledging we received their costume and approve/disapprove. Costumes will be held in the costume closet and returned home with the student after filming. K-1st students will wear their ballet shoes for the performance.

Please contact Ms. Kilgore (kelsey.kilgore@mytesa.org) with any performance questions or concerns.

Artistically & Academically Yours,

Betsy Compton, M.A., M.A.T., M.Ed.

Broadway TCA+A alumni have been on both campuses filming over the past few weeks and we’re eager to show off our student’s hard work and talents on this special night! Get your free tickets here.

Each week, we celebrate someone going above and beyond. This week, two TeSA super stars were nominated by a fellow TeSA Teacher.

"Ms. Bibens is always going above and beyond her normal duties. I want her to know how much I appreciate her and the extra work she has taken on. She and Mrs. Young helped me and our students while I was out. It means so much to be so new on campus and have so much support. Thank you both! I really appreciate each of you." -Ms. Michelle Wilson
