Today I had the opportunity to visit Choices Leadership Academy and attend their end-of-summer camp performance. Over the past four weeks, 42 middle school students were immersed in the world of ancient Egypt. They learned about the country's geography, history and culture through core academic studies in math, English, science and history.
Their culminating performance, called Journey Down the Nile, encompassed original music, dramatic performances and visual art on topics like the rulers and gods of ancient Egypt.
As part of the visual art component of the program, students created a giant, three-dimensional map of the Nile River and designed and hand painted the Egyptian themed shirts you'll see them wearing in the photo slideshow below.
Perhaps most enjoyable was the final scene - So You Think You Can Egyptian Dance, where students performed songs they had written about the lives of King Tut and Cleopatra.
Thanks to these talented students and their instructors for their thoroughly educational and entertaining performance!
