Mrs. Christie and Mrs. Quinoines presented their vision and mission statement for the Drama Club. They see that there is many talented students in the school that are interested in acting and theater. Mrs. Christie and Mrs. Quiones have been organizing many musicals in the school and every time it was a great success. They believe that theater is about cultures and since GOCA is multicultural school, they decided to start a Drama Club. Their goal is to perform in Jacksonville Theater of Arts and make students dreams come true.

Audit report has been presented by Mrs. Anderson and is attached.
