The theme for National School Social Work Week 2023 is “We Rise.” During the school year, School Social Workers are confronted with challenges, heightened anxieties, and anticipated difficulties. However, School Social Workers face these challenges with strength and resilience. School Social Workers rise up - supporting their students, families, and school communities. School Social Workers rise to share hope. They rise to listen and understand. They rise to challenge inequities. They rise to support all students.

MILTON THEATRE SPRING MUSICAL OPENS MARCH 9TH

Disaster! is a jukebox family musical comedy, set in 1979, where earthquakes, piranhas, tidal waves, infernos, and the songs of the 70’s take center stage. The plot follows a group of New Yorkers who attend the opening of a floating casino and discotheque where multiple disasters, reminiscent of 70’s disaster films, occur.

 It will be hard for you not to get up and dance to the iconic 70s songs such as: Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff”, Gloria Gaynor’s “I will Survive”, or The Commodores’ ”Three times a Lady" among others. We promise you’ll laugh the night away in this hilarious homage to the era of bell-bottoms, platform shoes and the hustle.
