Mary Morgan, the school’s drama teacher, says the students have made a lot of progress since rehearsals began last fall. Continued From A-9 of personalities and how to work as a group,” she said. Morgan is hopeful teachers, parents, students and other community members will attend the show to support the students, who have worked tirelessly to put on the production. She stressed that the play will be entertaining even for those who have no ties to the school. Seeing the students shine in front of a packed crowd makes all the effort worth it, she said. “We definitely have the nerves going, but it’s exciting,” she said. “It’s exciting for the kids to see the whole finished product start to come together.” The play is scheduled to be performed Friday, Jan. 27, and Saturday, Jan. 28. Both shows will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Ecker Hill Middle School auditorium. Tickets to the show are $5 at the door. Continued From A-9 walk by the high school kids every morning, and they’re not even wearing jackets when it’s negative 10 (degrees) out because they don’t want jackets -they want hoodies, or they might need shoes. The needs are totally different.” Maximo Ventura, emergency assistance and Latino outreach coordinator for the Christian Center, said the nonprofit is pleased to be involved with Operation Snow Boot. It lies firmly within the center’s mission to assist people at their point of need. It’s vital, he said, that the children of Park City’s resort and hospitality workers -- and other lower-income families who have little money left over after paying rent for even the basic necessities -- have resources they can count on. “Wherever we think we need to be to help, we’ll be there,” he said. “We are glad to be able to partner with (the Education Foundation) and the schools to make that happen.” From McNulty’s perspective, the program promises to help underserved students learn, in addition to keeping them warm. When a child comes to school cold, without a jacket, they may find it difficult to concentrate on math or English. Additionally, Operation Snow Boot will take some of the burden off the shoulders of teachers, who often take their own time and spend their own money to procure needed items for their students. “That’s awesome, but the fact is teachers have so much on their plates,” McNulty said. “Let’s let them focus on what they’re best at, which is helping their children learn.” Residents who would like to contribute to the pop-up shops can do so by donating goods to the Christian Center. They can also give money to the Park City Education Foundation and specify that their donation should be put toward Operation Snow Boot. Ecker Hill play Operation Snow Boot else, then provide them -- without having to spend time calling the foundation or anyone else for help. The first shops are up and running at McPolin Elementary School, Ecker Hill Middle School and Park City High School, with others expected to become available in the rest of the schools within weeks, McNulty said. Each school’s shop will be personalized to reflect the needs of its student body. “At the high school, kids need something different than at the elementary level,” she said. “I Regis terin 17 g FALL 20 Visit thepeekprogram.com for details. 435-649-9188 La pre-escolar de Park City llevará acabo la inscripción para el año escolar 2017-2018.
