“Myths, Monsters, and Demigods, Oh My”
What happens when you mix Greek mythology, musical theater, and our students’ creativity? You get a PAC transformed into Camp Half-Blood. During a recent staged reading of The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, our talented Dolphins brought Rick Riordan鈥檚 epic story to life. With wit, energy, and heart, they followed Percy鈥檚 quest to recover Zeus鈥檚 stolen lightning bolt. It was a performance filled with music, monsters, and the moments that show what makes the our community so vibrant: bold storytelling, collaboration, and a sense of adventure.
