Ms. Linda Lewis in the Drama Room 278.24 KB

Here at MJHS we have many great classes one of them is the Drama class of Ms. Linda Lewis. Some people say that drama means expressing your feelings in a fun way; others say it’s just entertainment. Students here at MJHS say that when they come into Ms. Lewis’ room they feel happy and energetic because they are in such a great class.

In Drama there are different things you can learn about depending what grade you are in. 7th graders learn about different speeches and the beginning of Drama as an art, 8th graders learn more advanced Drama techniques, and lastly 9th graders get to do and learn the more complicated parts of Drama.

A couple of words that Ms. Lewis has used to describe her classes are “vibrant, interesting, unique, and loveable”. She loves coming to work every day, she’s a fantastic bowler, supreme director, and has a love for all her students. Students say that Ms. Lewis is “the coolest”, “excellent”, and “she has changed my life for the better”.

As the director for MJHS Drama, Ms. Lewis has done many plays including Romeo and Juliet, Taming of the Shrew, Twelfth Night and many others of Shakespeare’s plays.  This spring the students of Mapleton Jr. High will be doing Tom Sawyer the musical under her direction once again.

Through her years here at MJHS Ms. Lewis has grown to love the school, being a teacher, and her students. We all hope that she will stay for many years so that she can leave an impact in even more student’s hearts.
