About the Musical
An arrogant prince is cursed to live as a terrifying beast until he finds true love. Strangely, his chance comes when he captures an unwary clockmaker, whose place is then taken by his bold and beautiful daughter Belle. Helped by the Beast's similarly enchanted servants, including a clock, a teapot and a candelabra, Belle begins to see the sensitive soul behind the fearsome facade. But as time runs out, it soon becomes obvious that Belle's cocky suitor Gaston is the real beast of the piece.
As the only LSAT parent representative up for election this year, Stephanie Sexton wishes to introduce herself to the Murch community:
My name is Stephanie Sexton and our family is new to the Murch community this year. We have 4 sons, two of whom have spent this past school year at Murch. Sammy is finishing 5th grade, and Jason is finishing 3rd. We have spent the last 10 years living outside of the United States and this is our first time living in the DC area. Both of my boys have had a seamless transition into Murch and we are so grateful for the warm welcome from the community.
I have worked in education for 15 years as a learning support specialist and more recently as an educational psychologist. My passion is creating environments where all students can access the curriculum with success and develop a love of learning. I am interested in being a part of the Murch LSAT team to support the continued growth and equitable access for all students in the Murch community.

Then we look forward to seeing you in the separate Lip Sync Show this June!
Anyone from Kindergarten to 5th grade can participate. Soloists, groups, clubs and classes can perform. Tryouts will begin later in April. Note these are simply tryouts, not competitive auditions. Students come to show the acts they have planned and get tips on improving them. We try to include everyone in the show who would like to perform. (Remember, please NO lip sync acts! Save those for the separate Lip Sync Show that will take place this June.)
For questions, please email Murch music teacher, Dr. Eugene Branch, at eugene.branch@k12.dc.gov.
Murch Talent Show Parent Volunteers Needed

The Talent Show is a great way to celebrate the performing talents of our kids. And there is nothing more fun to students than to see their friends celebrated front-and-center!
In order to make this event happen, the HSA needs 1 – 2 more parent volunteers to join the Talent Show team. If you are interested, please contact Jennifer Bonnette for more information. Thanks for your help!
