The Addams Family Musical

The Addams Family Musical

From our beloved Jeannie Brzovic: (MTHS Drama Teacher): "As some of you may know Edmonds School District has made deep cuts to the Visual and Performing Arts programs.

This is an amazing collaboration of actors, technicians and musicians (something our district just doesn't seem...

When legislators cap special education funding at 13.5% or 15%, when they fund less than half of student transportation needs, when they underfund teacher salaries, when they underfund art and music classes, budget deficits are the...
