“I just have to say this year has been a whirlwind for my son.
He said to me the other night Drama has made him a happier person.
He’s never wanted to miss a session. I’ve never had groans and grumps like I did with basketball. He always wants to get there earlier to play with the other kids.
We have noticed the change in him as a happier child, he got given a tiny speaking part in a school thing and he was so happy and other parents commented how good he was. He’s just loving it.
I am so grateful to you all for your patience with our boy!”
