A Star Shines Among Us!
We are thrilled to announce that our very own sixth grader, Cord Walchalk, has landed a leading role of Stink in the upcoming production of "Judy Moody and Stink in the Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Treasure Hunt" at Barberton Magical Theater!
During the past two years, Cord dedicated himself to honing his craft at summer camps, immersing himself in the art of acting.
