Shrews and Confidence

The Taming of the Shrew

One of the hallmarks of an Emerald education is the development of confidence. There are so many reasons that this is important, ranging from self-advocacy in the near future of high school to the more distant future of success in the workplace. At Emerald, students become confident as they learn to talk honestly with their teachers and parents about their work, as they learn a stringed instrument and stand (or sit) tall as they perform, as they present speeches, and as they perform in plays at all grade levels. The culminating dramatic performance opportunity comes in Middle School, as Emerald’s students perform a Shakespeare play every year. This year, on April 6, our students will perform The Taming of the Shrew at 2:00 and 6:00 p.m. at the Chief Theater. We hope to see you there. Admission is free, yet another way that Emerald’s students give back to the community.
