Though it's summer, many students in graded 4-8 were in high school Friday night. Rydel High to be exact. The fictional school is the location for the popular musical "Grease."

Under the direction of Mi Waters and Kelli Greer, the students sang the songs and played the parts of the iconic show which features songs like "Hopelessly devoted to you" and "You're the one that I want" Madison Phelps played good girl Sandy. Spence Greer played greaser Danny.

Marty (Ashley Strickland) sings "Freddie My Love." |
The story, for those who don't know, is Danny and Sandy meet over one summer. Unbeknownst to both, they're at Rydel High School. It's a test to see if their summer love was real, and who will change and grow to be like the other.
If you missed this showing, Rydel hasn't let out for the summer just yet. There will be an encore Saturday at 2 pm and a final showing at 7 pm.
