Bell's singing was so beautiful and Geston was hilariously full of himself (how he should be)! All of the performers were so good (and I know a few were High School or younger which is very impressive). Vocals on point, costumes/props perfection, choreography awesome, and we had the best time. I can't imagine how much time it takes to put something like this together... the talent! I'm exited to see what other plays they will be doing down the road. My daughter was dancing around the house when we got home pretending to be one of the performers. (The best compliment is imitation right?!) Well done!!

The group did an incredible job in their presentation of this 1950's Broadway hit. Gamblers, gangsters, show girls and missionaries all collide in this comedic musical. The entire ensemble seemed perfectly casted. The over 100 costumes propelled you swiftly back to the mobster era of the late 20's. All the voices were strong and on mark. The dance scenes were full of energy. I enjoyed the simple set they created. It allowed for quick scene turnarounds. Performances at the Hawkins Amphitheater are wonderful. Set up on the natural hillside inside Bartley Ranch, you can enjoy outdoor shows in the Nevada evenings. Seating was good, easy line of vision to the stage, as we sat rows 4 and 5 with seats 1,2, & 3. Sound was great through the entire show. Seating was reserved pre sales. I do recommend bringing a cushion. The spacious metal seats can get a hard by the second act. Plenty of on property parking. Bring a flashlight to get back to your car. There are no lot lights. Why don't more residents enjoy our local theater groups. They are so affordable and simply do a fantastic job.

But the reason I took it down is because after I posted it, I realized that it could be a copyright issue since I didn't ask permission from her to repost her review. But please go see her review on this. She is not wrong. I'm actually proud of this parent for posting her experience at this school. Some teachers and front desk staff should be ashamed for what I think they are being bullies. Grown ups! Really, supposed professionals and the people who parents trust will guide the kids towards a better future while parents entrust them. I also think they should have only qualified, certified teachers who went to school to teach, not just volunteered parents who were picked to teach a higher grade elementary class because they couldn't find or afford anyone else. @BoardMembers of this school please listen to parents concerns. Students and teachers (specially those who aren't bullies of other staff members & kids) should be looked at as replaceable items. Time to care! This are the future of our country/world

I rarely leave reviews and this is a long one, but I feel like it's important to start addressing…read morethe serious issues and concerns that not only I have, but many other parents have as well and are afraid to speak up because of fear of retaliation or their student being denied access to a club or group or whatever it may be for being outspoken and advocating for their kid. My child is a 3rd grade student at Coral. He is well-behaved, high-achieving, has never been in trouble and has always been motivated to learn. Over the last two years, school has become a source of anxiety for him and not because of the amount of homework or projects he has to do or bullying from other students, but because of the behavior of many adults in the building. Another thing he has mentioned to me is that students are reportedly expected to sit silently in the lunchroom, and if they speak, they may lose recess, sometimes the entire 30 minutes, leaving them with zero time outside for fresh air or exercise (which is not legal or consistent with the Nevada Department of Education guidelines!). There also appears to be no consistency in terms of discipline or expectations from class to class or grade level to grade level, which is confusing and frustrating for students and parents. Students don't know what to expect from one teacher or staff member to the next, which I think has led to him feeling like he can't be himself out of fear of the reaction he'll receive from them. It also seems like academics, grades, and test scores are pushed in an unhealthy way, where struggling students are shamed, scolded, or made to feel stupid instead of supported. When my son knows a big test is coming up or an important project, he will suddenly get extremely sick to the point of throwing up and me having to take him to the doctor just to find out "it's just stress." He's 8! That is not ok! The other frustrating part of our experience there has been with the front office staff. They often come across as condescending and unnecessarily difficult. They seem to push certain "policies" and they're inconsistently enforced, and parents are frequently made to "jump through hoops" over rules that are unclear or seemingly nonexistent. Parent volunteers also seem heavily discouraged, which is unfortunate. I've also heard of parents feeling like if they are not "liked" or friends with the front office staff, they are not allowed to volunteer or it is extremely difficult for them to get approved to volunteer. My youngest son, the third grader and my oldest son, who's in 5th grade, have attended two other schools and both of those schools, here in Washoe county, have welcomed parents with open arms and actually encouraged them to volunteer, so it seems extremely suspicious and unusual to me that parents are being either discouraged or straight out denied to volunteer. Thankfully, there have been some positive experiences during our time at Coral. His 2nd grade teacher was amazing, supportive, communicative, and just overall seemed to enjoy her job as a teacher. I will also say that the principal has always been pretty responsive anytime I have shared my concerns and he does appear to genuinely care about the students. I have also had a few interactions and conversations with the dean, who is new this year, and those interactions have all been positive and she seems kind and truly invested in the students and families as well. It's unfortunate though that after some of these great conversations, there seems to be little or no change happening. I do get the impression that the people trying to run the school are not able to run the school because of the difficult staff and teachers. Another alarming issue I just recently started to notice is the number of families who have left. In only two years, I have personally seen dozens of families unenroll their children. That should be a serious warning sign. As a parent, you come to a new school hoping to finally find a place where your kid will be happy, get the education they need, and hopefully grow as a tiny human, but when you get there and you're faced with the reality, it's very disheartening. My really do hope that the administration and even the board begin to seriously examine these concerns and actually address them, not just say they're going to address them. Every kid deserves a school where they feel safe, welcomed, respected, and excited to learn. I do not want to pull my son out in the middle of his elementary years, but I also cannot continue watching him become overwhelmed by adults who should be helping him grow, not causing him distress.

I could never thank TNT and PDC enough. My daughter has always been shy since she was little. When…read moreshe was 5, I signed her up for cheer at a different gym (that has since closed down), and she hated it. She was brand new to the sport, felt out of place, and unfortunately thought her coaches disliked her. We ended up leaving cheer completely. Years later, my younger daughter wanted to give it a try, so we signed her up for tumble classes. She instantly loved it we couldn't get her out of the gym! That's when we decided to sign her up for the competitive team, and that's where her love for cheer truly began. Then something amazing happened my older daughter, the one who had a bad experience at 5, asked if she could try it again. She had always been very shy and struggled to make friends. We signed them both up, and by the end of the first season, both girls had completely opened up. My shy girl even became an incredible flyer! Her sass, confidence, and personality came shining through so quickly. This gym truly helped her step out of her shell. The owner and coaches treat everyone like family. You are not just a number here they know every athlete by name and by personality. The new location in the valleys is wonderful, and even though our schedules don't allow us to continue right now, we will definitely be back. TNT and PDC will always hold a special place in our hearts for the impact they've had on my girls, both on and off the mat
