A Mendota Elementary second-grader turns his prize from a "Lemonade Mouth" promotion into a treat for the whole school.
Mendota Elementary second-grader Harrison Berg had a lucky day that then turned into a lucky day for the school's music room and the student body. At an event at Rosedale Mall thrown last year by Radio Disney to promote the movie "Lemonade Mouth," Harrison won the grand raffle prize of $500 for himself and $500 for his school's music program.

Full Circle Dance Company puts a fresh spin on the classic tale.
The large theater is dark, the stage lit, the room full of giddy energy as The Full Circle Dance Company at Convent of the Visitation School prepares for their latest production, “Alice in Wacky Wonderland.” Activity is taking place everywhere as students cut bright fabric, review scripts and stage cues, set up lights, and tweak soundboards. “Alice in Wacky Wonderland” will have roughly 17-20 different dance numbers—with styles ranging from hip-hop to classical—taking threads from the classic tale. Expect tea parties, the Cheshire Cat, Tweedledee, Tweedledum and more.
