Enzo & Remi
Enzo is in 2nd grade at APA. He loves his LEGO and Minecraft, is a voracious reader, and is rocking braces, glasses, and a custom haircut now. He’s a super memorizer and loves to do things the “right” way, like copying the vocal choices of the recording perfectly.
Remi is in 1st grade at APA and is finding her groove. She loves to sing (Beetlejuice, the Musical or the Glinda high notes in No One Mourns the Wicked), paint, create, and whatever else is the opposite of what you told her to do. She’s a great performer and has been working on her expressions and hand motions tirelessly.
Good job little rockstars. Mom’s proud of you. :)
