Grand Forks Public Schools
2014 Summer Performing Arts (SPA)
for Middle School
What is Middle School SPA?
Middle School SPA is designed for students currently enrolled in grades 6 and 7 in 2013-14. It is a four-week,
workshop-style program in drama, movement, vocal music, and tech.
This program is designed to promote a greater awareness of the performing arts, and enrich creativity among
the students. This is a terrific opportunity to experience music, drama, and dance outside of a production. No
experience is necessary!
The program will combine the workshop training into show-and-tell performances on the evenings of June 25
and 26. This will give the students the opportunity to share and demonstrate their experiences of the summer.
There will a ‘fun day’ at the conclusion of the session. More details about this will be available once the
session starts.
