Carterville Students of the Month

Carterville Elementary February Students of the Month learned about what it means to be trustworthy. They learned they could be trustworthy by… always telling the truth, being dependable, meaning what I say, using good manners, doing the right thing, doing what I say that I will do, having good intentions, never cheating, being loyal to my friends and family.

In the Ziegfeld Follies, in Hollywood films, and on the radio, Fanny Brice was one of the most celebrated entertainers of her time. With humor, talent and chutzpah, young Fanny, an awkward Jewish girl who “isn’t pretty,” defies the odds and becomes one of the greatest stars of her generation. Fanny’s rise to super-stardom and her turbulent romance with gambler Nick Arnstein are explored through Bob Merrill and Jule Styne’s unforgettable score, which includes “People,” “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” “The Music That Makes Me Dance,” and “You Are Woman, I Am Man.”

Performance dates are May 17 – 21, 2023. For more information, call (417) 623-03638.
