The kind of imagination possible through this mentorship shows the strengths of our PreK-12 community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur costume crew grew from five to nine people in basically a day, and a few of them are younger siblings of my friends, so it\u2019s cool to get to know them better,\u201d said sophomore Solie Svennevig-Brosi. \u201cI\u2019m excited to make an awesome show with them!\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>There is also a crew working on crocodile construction in the Makerspace.

They\u2019re coming in during their lunch and recess to mend, fold, sew, and mold the crocodile to life. It is made out of ten different materials so far (pipe, wire, fabric, thread, newspaper, cardboard, foam, tape, wood, papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 adhesive, screws, and plastic) and is big enough for two students to operate on stage.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Scheweiger, retired Middle School faculty member and MPA grandparent, is also contributing to the magical set of <em>Peter Pan<\/em>.
