Delavan-Darien summer school students performed in the musical production of "Character Matters," directed by Kirsten Andreoni. Filled with humor and fantastic songs, Character Matters is a wildly fun way to spark classroom discussion about character issues and conflicts (when, for example, should you be honest and when should you avoid hurting someone's feelings?). And, the show helps students improve reading, vocabulary, reading comprehension, performance and music skills, class camaraderie and teamwork, and numerous social skills, all while enabling students to be part of a truly fun and creative experience they will never forget!
