Saratoga parents are building drama clubs for younger students.
In Silicon Valley, it’s no surprise that students are interested in science, technology, engineering and math, but a group of Saratoga teachers and parents say theater and the arts should get more attention.
The booster club helped create a drama club at Redwood Middle School that meets for the first time this Friday, April 28, to get younger students involved in and exposed to theater. Getting involved earlier means more skill development and preparation for advanced learning in high school as well, said Bridget Warwick, vice president of fundraising for the booster club.
Anywhere from 20 to 40 students act in the fall play or spring musical, with another 10 to 15 helping out backstage.
