Magnolia's stage lit up with energy, laughter, and a little bit of Broadway magic last weekend during this year’s production of Annie Jr. Students from across grade levels came together to bring the beloved story to life, creating a show full of heart, talent, and teamwork. 7th grade Monarchs led the cast with strong performances throughout the show. Catherine B. played Annie with energy and optimism, while Isla M. took on the role of Daddy Warbucks with confidence. Felicity C. kept the audience laughing as the over-the-top Miss Hannigan, and Savannah V. brought warmth and poise to the role of Grace Farrell. Julianna C. was a standout as the scheming Rooster, delivering a lively performance that added humor and excitement to the production.

As part of their year-long study of birds and mammals, our 4th grade Monarchs explored how owls hunt and what they eat by carefully examining the contents of real owl pellets.

With tweezers in hand, students worked patiently to uncover tiny bones hidden inside. They discovered skulls, ribs, and other small bones from the owls’ prey, learning how scientists can identify animals based on skeletal structures. The hands-on activity helped bring their lessons about food chains, predators, and prey to life.
