Why I Started The Drama Club 

I had so much fun doing Taming Of The Shrew and expressing myself. Also, hanging out with friends and playing drama games was super nice and I was heartbroken when it was over and I would have to wait a whole year to do it again.  So, I decided I didn’t have to wait, I could start a club! I also have always kind of known I would be good at acting considering my dad and my mom are big theater kids and played major roles in some pretty big plays. If you watched the Play That Went Wrong, you might have noticed my dad, Scott Edwin Leake, as the victim in that show.  My mom was Cinderella at Disney World when we lived in Florida. I also have always known I would be a natural at this because of my interests and how much I enjoy making up characters, stories, etc.

What We Do At The Drama Club  

We play drama games for the first 15-20 minutes and then we’ll work on our scripts when all the roles have been assigned. We’ll play out the scenes with or without the script because it’s all for fun anyways. We make jokes, share laughs, and sometimes just hang. Depending on if everyone's there, we might not do scripts and wait for everyone to be there to do them.  The group will usually just keep playing drama games until we’re ready to switch.  Most of what we do is up to the team and what we feel like. It's a very interactive club where we try to have as much fun as possible, rather than get as many scripts done as possible or as many drama games as possible. We’ll even change up drama game rules and add themes to our little plays. I guess I’m just saying we’re pretty laid back.

Other Information:

It starts at 2:45 and goes till 4:00 and is EVERY Tuesday and Thursday unless something comes up. Obviously it’s ok if you miss a day though.  We have 7 members so far (including me), these members include Lola Mattson, Alexandra Partridge, Wylie Yuen, Selena Solis, Kayson Rojo, Makiya Plum, and hopefully more to come! We are supervised by Mrs. Force and even have our own props! We meet/hang out in Mrs. Force’s room (The choir room by the men and women’s locker room and the lunch room entrance). We also spin a wheel to make some of our decisions. That’s all you need to know about the drama club besides the obvious fact that you can join whenever, just like any other club. We sincerely hope whoever's reading this, gives our little club a chance.

Springbrook's own Equations team represented a strong front at their March 5th meet.  Falling just short of wins were Brygit Thompson and Cayden Underhill.  Ryder Richardson, Raelynn Underhill, Colin West and Bradley Greenlee earned one win against some tough competition.  Temperance Bice, Levi Pummell and Anna Salenbien walked away with 2 wins each.  Teddy Mueller won all 3 of his matches.  Not included in the photos, are Memphis Timm and Madisyn Parker who were absent, but still a strong part of Equations.

The team wants to send a shout out to Mrs. West for the shirts and to our own 6th grade student Alecia Martin for inspiring the cool design you see.
