Hakuna Matata from @af_enyeswolfpack !
Our talented scholars brought The Lion King to life on stage with dazzling costumes, a beautiful set, and powerful voices.
Students from 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade rehearsed since October, and performed in two incredible shows for friends and families on Thursday, June 5.
This was a true community effort. Our amazing staff designed the set and costumes, led choreography and music, and an @afeastbrooklynhigh alum even ran sound for the production!
We are SO proud of our students and deeply grateful to our educators, alumni, and families who made this joyful moment possible.
