CLARKS SUMMIT — The Abington Heights Middle School Auditorium was full and overflowing, with many parents and guests standing in the back or sitting on the floor in the aisles Friday, June 5 to catch a glimpse as Newton Ransom Elementary students danced, sang, recited and acted on stage.
The event was a culmination of the school’s Arts Alive experience for the school year. This year’s theme for the annual Arts Alive program, which was funded by the Abington Heights Education Improvement Organization (AEIO), was “Into the Mystic Blue.” Students took the audience on an underwater adventure via the Magic School Bus.
The performance, which was choreographed by Laura Ancherani, was dedicated to Abington Heights School District art teacher Lisa Bobinchock, who is retiring at the close of the school year.
