Weโ€™re shining the spotlight on Leander ISDโ€™s Fine Arts Student of the Week Jake Jecker!

Jake is an amazing actor! The eighth graderโ€™s performance in Henry Middle Schoolโ€™s UIL play Antigone was so strong that he helped the entire cast up their game. Before school closures, Jake was directing the drama club play. His passion also fueled his fire to teach theatre games every week during enrichment.  

โ€œWe would not have a thriving drama club without Jake Jecker’s leadership and tireless commitment,โ€ Henry Middle School Theatre Arts teacher Melissa Wotkyns said.

 Jakeโ€™s devotion to performance doesnโ€™t end when the curtain closes. He also helps backstage and was planning to run lights for Henryโ€™s spring play. He even volunteered to help with an elementary school show in March.

A standing ovation for Jake Jecker–Leander ISDโ€™s Fine Arts Student of the Week who exemplifies how being backstage is just as rewarding as being on it.
