What a fabulous show displayed by our Creative Drama students and buddies!

SGT STUDENT STARS IN HALLMARK MOVIE!!
SUNDAY, JAN. 29TH 9:00pm/8:00pm CENTRAL ON ABC
John Corbett (“Sex and the City,” the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie “November Christmas”) stars in the inspiring story of a high school football coach and special-education teacher who worked to achieve an impossible dream — to take a class of special-education students to NASA’s Space Camp — in the new Hallmark Hall of Fame film, “A Smile as Big as the Moon,” premiering SUNDAY, JAN. 29 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. The movie is based on the memoir of the same title, written by teacher Mike Kersjes with Joe Layden.
In the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, many of the special-ed students were played by young actors who are, indeed, “special,” with Down syndrome, autism and learning disabilities. The film was shot in Wilmington, NC and at NASA Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama.
This Hallmark movie features Peter tenBrink. UpS for DownS ran an article about Peter’s desire to become an actor back in January 2010. Read it at the link below on p. 7.
