Greetings Anne Sullivan families! This is Pierangelo saying hi to all of you and hoping you had a great summer! I am thrilled to come back to your school for my second year with Project SUCCESS! Last year we had fun while learning about each other’s dreams and goals for the future. I cannot wait to go back to the classrooms for another great year of workshops.

Outside of the classroom, some of the theater highlights from last year include Alma Flamenco at the Northrop Auditorium, Animal Farm at the Southern Theater, the Barber of Seville at the Ordway and the sophisticated dance moves of Ragamala at the Southern Theater.

Are you new to Anne Sullivan or Project SUCCESS? Let me tell you about it. If you are a middle school student, I will go to your classroom once a month to work with you and help you think about your dreams and goals for the future! Through a series of activities that I have planned for you, as well as some exciting theater experiences, we will have fun getting to know ourselves and each other in the classroom.

If you have any questions, doubts or if you just want to say hi, feel free to drop me a line at Pierangelor@projectsuccess.org or you can call the office at 612-874-0373.

Can’t wait to see all of you!

Pierangelo
