    2021 Senior, Noelle Weichman

    Noelle Weichman is graduating from Fairview High School and plans to attend John Carroll University on scholarship.  Noelle is such a precious soul, and I will miss her sweet spirit.  She is always quick to laugh and would often have me busting a gut during those late night, dog-tired, end of the week rehearsals.  She [...]

            Looking back on our graduating Senior, Myah Frase.  She graduated from PA Cyber Charter School in 2020.  She’s a wildly talented dancer with amazing lines that go on for days.  Her seemingly effortless grace as a dancer is only remotely as beautiful as she.
