I believe students with disabilities should be included in ALL school activities, including the school plays and musicals. Did anyone see Glee???

The arts is often the least restrictive environment for students with exceptionalities. Musicals have the potential to be wonderful learning opportunities for ALL

There is room for everyone! All children have talents and should be included in the musical.

As a former music teacher, and as a current music therapist, I have a unique position to be able to see how kids with various abilities can thrive in musicals! Public school is not the place to deny participation by any student in any extracurricular activity. Sure, not everyone can be the lead role or the star athlete, but let the kids be on the team or in the show.

It is possible to create beautiful theatre with anyone and everyone. No matter who they are. Take the chance and try it. You won’t regret it.

As a former student of North, it saddens me that there is a need for this petition. Students with disabilities are a valuable part of north's community snd should not be discriminated against when comprising the roster of the yearly musical.

As a child who has a sibling that has a disability it makes me very disappointed that you have not included a child based on this.

I hope that this can help to provide hope and equality for people under unfortunate circumstances. People with disabilities are just as capable as the next person and deserve a chance.

Agreed!! Fully support this initiative! There are definitely places in the musical where they can be included. Just need to get creative. What a wonderful opportunity ‘!
