All performances take place in the MES gymnasium, which <br /> features a raised stage. Each performer will present two separate <br /> shows for students — one for the younger Kindergarten to 2nd Grade <br /> students and another for the older 3rd to 5th Grade students. There <br /> are no steps or barriers to prevent anyone with physical disabilities <br /> from entering the gymnasium. The school regularly offers support to <br /> students who need specialized accommodations (e.g., interpreters <br /> for students with hearing impairments as part of their education <br /> support plan). Also, at any given performance, MES and the PTA <br /> Cultural Arts Coordinator will work to accommodate special <br /> requirements of audience members, such as seating closer or further <br /> from the stage to accommodate hearing sensitivities, vision <br /> limitations, etc. <br />
