Full-circle moment 💫

At yesterday’s Fine Arts Festival, former Drama Kid Delaney (Hull) McNulty returned to celebrate Ms. Czerwinski’s final show. In a surprise twist, current Drama Kid Charlee Bowerson turned out to be the same kindergartener Delaney walked with in the 2018 Memorial Day Parade!

See their recreated photo—eight years later and still sharing the spotlight ❤️🎭
