Students in Essex High School’s Social Justice Theater class, led by Bonnie Destakasi, have formed a Speak Chorus, in which they write and perform original pieces about issues that are important to them. The students became aware of the issue of Death with Dignity this fall, and wanted to add their voices, their opinions, and their insight as teenagers to this issue, in the hopes of inspiring action in the Vermont legislature this session.
Students, from left to right, are:
Back row: Breanna Derby-Burras, CJ Holcomb, and Brad Yandow
Middle Row: Dana Balkin and Saraphina Redalieu
Front: Jillian Kenney
