Mount Madonna School (MMS) students Milana Beck, 5th, Riley Butler, 6th, and Amelia Busenhart, 8th, will be dancing in Santa Cruz Ballet Theatre’s (SCBT) upcoming production of the “Nutcracker,” December 14, 15, and 16 at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium.
Gazing out from the stage in the school’s Assembly Room, thirteen second grade students stand together and collectively ask questions and share statistics with the assembled audience: “Don’t all people deserve enough food to be able to live with health and happiness?”

A humorous and poignant tale of growing up, Mount Madonna School’s upcoming production of Alice in Wonderland, Jr. is a good fit for middle school-age performers; and a show that somehow combines the iconic styles of Monty Python, Saturday Night Live and Walt Disney.
Mount Madonna School’s (MMS) girls volleyball program includes an elementary school team (Gold) and middle school team (Blue) – both of which compete in the Silicon Valley Athletic League (SVAL). Their season concluded November 6, and both teams experienced much growth and skill development.

Some of us have two or even 3 roles! As we all know, avoid making any hasty judgments about importance of role or which songs or lines you sing or say. Be aware: the script designations of who does what may change! Don’t highlight lines or lyrics yet! In the first weeks of rehearsal, we will clarify those assignments. Anticipate roles being more than you think; all will have opportunity to shine and contribute. It will take hard work! We perform in December, so we must get right to it!
