Get ready to be inspired! The Cunniff Elementary School's upcoming play celebrates student creativity, collaboration, and community. With grant funding from three community partners, including the Watertown Community Foundation, Cunniff students partnered with artist-in-residence Matthew Bretschneider of Studio Playground to design every aspect of their original production—from characters and plot to costumes and sets—all while building important social-emotional and leadership skills. Head to the Cunniff this Friday to witness the magic these talented students have created! The play runs from 3:30 - 4:30 PM. This is the second year in a row WCF has been provided grant funding for innovative theater programming at the Cunniff School!
