Ms. Rhonda Lund is back at Sanford in After-school running Acting, Drama and Skits! Students learn simple acting techniques and vocabulary through studying monologues and scenes. They will then begin basic script analysis and character development and apply these principles towards in-class performances. Students will write their own play and perform! Note: Community Education uses a sliding scale model for program fees so our afterschool programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable. Families are asked to pick the price that they are able to pay. By more clearly articulating our lower cost options, we have removed the barrier that some may have felt in making scholarship requests. When families participate at the higher price levels, they help make the program more sustainable. Pricing Scale: Option 1 - Class Fee - covers staffing and supply costs Option 2 - Higher price level 1- supports sustainable programming & scholarships Option 3 - Higher price level 2 - supports sustainable programming & scholarships Option 4 - Partial Scholarship price Option 5 - Full Scholarship price
