The Women of Tomorrow club took a field trip to the Kravis Center to see a play and have lunch. Guidance Counselor Ms. Neer and Jeanne Ried chaperoned 13 girls from Santaluces on Friday, January 26. The The name of the play was “Sense And Sensibility” and it was based on the classic novel by Jane Austen.

“WOT likes to do nice things the students normally don’t get to do,” said Ms. Neer. “It’s something students may not have been interested in and something young people should be exposed to.”

Most of the feedback from the girls in the group on the play was positive.

“I’m interested in the arts already,” said Junior Deshanna Maine, who has been in WOT since 9th grade. “I like plays more than movies.”

The experience for Maine was “interesting” and she especially expressed her enthusiasm when she got the opportunity to discuss the play with other members over lunch after the play. The girls had lunch in the Kravis Center. Students ate in a room with WOT members from other schools including Forrest Hill and Boynton Beach High schools.
