AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE
2021 VIDEO SHOWCASE



For the first time on any platform Mr. Chris’ 6th grade Theatre Emphasis class presents:

THE CHAMPION OF THE CHOSEN?
​

An Original Animated Series, created, written, and voiced by Mr. Chris' 6th Grade Theatre Emphasis class.
Cast member, Natalie Jambor, drew all of the main characters! Enjoy!

6th Grader Megan Corcoran who has been playing the Cello at BRAMS since 5th grade performs a duet in her classroom under the instruction of Mr. Lugo. The piece is a cello duet composed by James Hook (1746-1827). We hope you enjoy this selection.

The National Junior Honor Society at Betsy Ross Arts Magnet School ran a Health and Beauty fundraiser from January to March to support the New Reach Foundation of New Haven. New Reach inspires independence for all people affected by homelessness and poverty through a continuum of housing and support using the most innovative, progressive, equitable and inclusive methods.

Even with the difficulty of being remote AND hybrid, we collected over a HUNDRED health and beauty products and several monetary donations!

BRAMS NJHS rocks!!!
