Congratulations to Princeton's own, Roger Dumas, Jr. on his outstanding lead role in Cincinnati Music Theatre's production of Rent! Roger has played Tom Collins, lead bass role in this resident theater company production at the Jarson-Kaplan Theatre at the Aronoff. 🎭 Based on Puccini’s beloved opera La Bohème, Rent follows the ups and downs of a year in the life of a group of impoverished, artistic friends living in Manhattan’s East Village. Jonathan Larson’s Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical will move audiences with the iconic chords of “Seasons of Love,” “I’ll Cover You,” and the thrilling, soaring score that is RENT! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Roger's passion for acting and singing shines through in each show he performs in. If you get the chance to see Roger perform, you will be blown away! The show closes tonight and has run since early May. Break a leg in your closing performance tonight, Roger! He has appeared in several other shows with CMT in the past including Ragtime, & we can't wait to see which show he'll be in next! 🎼 During the school year, you can find Roger working at PHS/PCMS covering security. Please join us in congratulations him on this fantastic role!!! 🎉🎊 Bravo, Roger!!! ❤️🩶 #VikingsLeadTheWay #ASGV

Heritage Hill wrapped up Teacher Appreciation Week, Traitors Edition on Friday! And the winners are..........🥁 The TRAITORS (or known amongst themselves as the Tradders) 🤣! Their strategies helped them to eliminate every faithful in the building! The original traitors were: Mrs. Ard, Miss Carlson, Mrs. Forse, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Mayborg, & Miss Schmidt! Throughout the week, additional traitors were recruited when an OG was eliminated: Mrs. Akemon, Mrs. Cross, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Long, & Mrs. Paquette! Miss Schmidt was the lone lady standing at the end, which clinched us the win! Mrs. Johnston was our top points earner with 34 points! 🏆 We had so much fun completing challenges like dance parties, decorating cars, making posters, doing cheers, creating complimentary announcements for staff, creating awards, and anonymously leaving candy on staff desks! Check out Miss Oak doing the worm at arrival for a little dance party fun! 🐛 We also enjoyed breakfast every morning at the castle and tried to guess who the traitors were! Principal Lastra, thank you SO much for the countless hours you spent preparing individualized challenges, counting points, overseeing the game throughout the week & all of the delicious food you prepared each morning! Many staff have said this was their favorite teacher appreciation week ever! Thank you for creating such a fun way for us to celebrate one another! ❤️🩶 Will Teacher Appreciation Week 2027 bring Traitors, Season 2 to Heritage Hill? We shall find out soon enough!
