Commends performers, director of ACHS play production

About: Review Chateau LaRoach presented by ACHS

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

As a parent of one of the cast members of Chateau LaRoach, I attended the play. All the young people did a great job. They worked so hard and it paid off. I was disappointed though, that they had no support from the school. There were no teachers there and no board members there to support these young people. Mrs. Held, I must commend you for a great job with our young people.
