Congratulations to the cast and crew of the Silas Wood/Stimson Middle School’s musical production of The Wiz! Our students put on an incredible weekend of performances, showcasing the talent of our middle school theater students. “Words cannot describe how happy we are to celebrate the ninth successful year of the theater program at Silas Wood and Stimson Middle School,” shared Mr. Toto, Principal of Silas Wood, and Mr. Duggan, Principal of Stimson. “The Arts truly play a critical role in the development of our students and the positive culture of our district.”
We are so proud of the Maroon Cast and White Cast who put in months of hard work to make this year’s production such a success. Thank you to the directors, Mr. Slawitsky, Mr. Rovalino and Mrs. Jones, crew members, staff, administration and our wonderful audiences for supporting the arts in South Huntington!
