Once again, 3 of the areas finest high school students were in attendance with their parents. The subject was The Arts - a new designation suggested by Glen Anderson to encompass not just music but art and theater as well. Pictured below are Andrew Thorpe (Old Saybrook), Abigail Cipperone (Lyme-Old Lyme) and Rachel Gosselin (Westbrook). Andrew has many interests and whatever he undertakes, he does very well. Interests include art and videography. He was recently the lead in the production of West Side Story and helped in set design as well as acting. He plans on pursuing a career in the music industry. Abigail is very active in plays and the coral. She has achieved all-state status all 4 years in music. She will probably go into Humanities in college. Rachel Gosselin is very passionate and gives 100% in all her endeavors. She has a love and knowledge of music and plays several instruments including piano, flute and clarinet.
