Canyons Thespians Take A Bow

As Shakespeare would say, students at Alta, Corner Canyon and Hillcrest have achieved greatness – and they’ve had greatness thrust upon them. On a replica of an Elizabethan stage, young thespians from the schools won top awards at the 37th annual Shakespeare Competition at Southern Utah University. The competition is touted as the nation’s largest scholastic contest of its kind.

The honors in the schools’ respective divisions are as follows:

Alta: Sweepstakes First Place, Buckingham Division;
Corner Canyon: Sweepstakes Second Place, Ensemble First Place, Oxford Division;
Hillcrest: Sweepstakes Second Place, Ensemble First Place, Duo/Trio Dance Second Place, Buckingham Division. 

The annual event at Southern Utah University this year drew a record 3,000 competitors from 118 schools in Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Wisconsin and California. The competition is judged by arts professionals from cities including New York and Los Angeles. They also taught students workshops on topics such as stage combat, improvisation, movement, modern dance techniques, and choral performance.

Lucie Chamberlain

Alta View Elementary

If a movie about super teachers were ever made, Lucie Chamberlain would be a prime candidate for a leading role. Fortunately for her kindergarten students at Alta View Elementary, she already thrives in a supporting role for them. Parents thank her for being a “super teacher.” She is also described as an “amazing colleague.” Whether students need help in the classroom or from home while sick, Lucie goes above and beyond to help them learn, overcome fears, and feel important and cared for. Lucie is the reason a number of kids went from hating school to loving it, according to parents. The way she exudes patience, sweetness, positive energy, and love for her students with special needs melts is appreciated and admired. One parent noted: “Both my kids wish she could be their teacher forever.” Another added:  “She treats every student like their learning and their feelings are her priority.” Super teacher, indeed!
