There is a reason why these students are known as the Ruus Shakespeareans.  After school, any 5th and 6th grader from Ruus Elementary is welcome to join as they work to put on a full production of a play by William Shakespeare.  They meet for nearly 80 minutes after school to rehearse songs, dances, and scenes.  They practice on the production for the entire school year, performing it several times near the end of the year.
