MUSIC MONDAY: During our regular Caddo Parish School Board meetings we spotlight students who excel in the arts. This month, we had a vocal performance of "I'm Here" from the Broadway musical The Color Purple by Lacee Smith, a 6th grader at Caddo Middle Magnet. She is currently a TAP - theater and choir student who was most recently cast as Olaf in Caddo Middle Magnet’s production of Frozen. Her love for the arts extends beyond school as she has been cast in stage productions including The Color Purple, Kinky Boots, Moana, Jr., The Nativity, and The Drum - to name a few. #wearecaddo #BIGdreamsstarthere
