Heather Hill School students truly took to the skies with their incredible musical, Wright: The Celebration of Flight! This dynamic, Hamilton-esque production blended history, rhythm, and storytelling in a way that felt fresh, bold, and unforgettable.
The show was directed by Mx. Gorecki Bozek, Ms. Kramer, and Mrs. Radeke, with choreography by Mr. Jacobsen and Mx. Gorecki Bozek. Their creative vision and leadership were on full display as students delivered powerful performances filled with energy, confidence, and heart.
Mx. Gorecki Bozek expressed deep gratitude to the administration and Board of Education for their continued support of the arts and immense pride in the cast, along with appreciation for the incredible support from staff and parents throughout the process.
This was a performance worth celebrating, and there is more to come. Be on the lookout for additional photos from the show that will be shared throughout the week.

The hive was buzzing at Heather Hill Elementary 🐝💛 In honor of the MLK Day of Service, volunteers worked side by side with members of You Matter 2 to turn Dr. King’s message into action. Together, they packed lunches for PADS and created cozy blankets for Project Kennedy, showing that service is a powerful way to uplift our community. A beautiful reminder that everyone can serve and kindness truly makes a difference.
We are 10 min from showtime for the Heather Hill musical, WRIGHT! Celebrate the Beginning of Flight directed by Mx. Gorecki Bozek, Ms. Ashley Kramer, and Mrs. Radeke.
We can already tell this is going to be a great show!
