Ever feel like a victim of rude comments or bullying? God has made each one of us uniquely different and He does not make mistakes! The Drama department is preparing for its fall production of Hans Christian Anderson s, The Ugly Duckling. The show will feature both high school and grade school students. The story tells of a homely little bird born in a barnyard who suffers abuse from the others around her until, much to her delight (and to the surprise of others), she matures into a beautiful swan. Take note - there s a beautiful swan in everyone! Please join us for the show in Luther s Auxiliary Gymnasium.
