Weโre shining the spotlight on Leander ISDโs Fine Arts Student of the Week Jake Jecker!
Jake is an amazing actor! The eighth graderโs performance in Henry Middle Schoolโs 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.
โWe 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.
Jakeโs devotion to performance doesnโt end when the curtain closes. He also helps backstage and was planning to run lights for Henryโs spring play. He even volunteered to help with an elementary school show in March.
A standing ovation for Jake Jecker–Leander ISDโs Fine Arts Student of the Week who exemplifies how being backstage is just as rewarding as being on it.
