Last week at Ballyshannon Middle School, special needs students attended a week long drama camp. The Boone County School district partners annually with the Lexington Shooting Stars Youtheatre. Program Director Octavia Biggs brings student interns from Morehead State University to work with students throughout the week on several projects including a play. They develop a script, create props and back drop for the stage. This year the play is The Lorax, adapted by Shooting Stars Youtheatre. Students get to experience music, dance, art and creativity. At the end of the week their parents get to see them preform on the stage. Boone County Students also volunteered as peer helpers during the week. They were buddies for the special needs students. Elementary camp was held in the morning and Middle and High School camp in the afternoon. Special Education Assistant Director Deana Izzo who makes Drama Camp happen every year says this years Drama Camp is bitter sweet because it is her last, she is retiring.
