Eighth graders at BCMS took a trip to the Crane River Theater in Kearney on Wednesday to see the play The Outsiders. This classic novel by S.E. Hinton was recently adapted into a play as well as a Broadway musical. The novel is part of Mrs. Dawna Nelson’s curriculum, so she was excited to get to take them to this performance. The Albion Education Foundation generously funded this enriching experience, and students will now have some context to compare to the novel.
