Homeschool students write and produce "Life in a Pond"

Life as a rotifer became an overarching theme for Ashley Steele's studies this school year.
The tenth-grade homeschool student participated in a year-long effort to write and produce an original play about the creatures in a pond and the impact of humans on their environment. The resulting short play, entitled "Life in a Pond," debuted this weekend in two performances: Saturday afternoon at Horizon Books and Sunday afternoon at Border's. The six student actors will also present the play on Saturday at the Traverse Area District Library in honor of Earth Day celebrations. They will also bring to the production to area schools this spring.
