Trip Overview


The live theatrical performance, Miss Nelson Is Missing, is a lighthearted and engaging musical based on the beloved children’s book by Harry Allard. This performance brings literature to life through music, humor, and storytelling, offering students a fun and memorable experience.

About the Performance


Miss Nelson's class is the worst behaved in the whole school which puts her over the edge. The students of room 207 are in for a surprise when their kind and patient teacher goes missing! Viola Swamp is tough and isn't who they had in mind for a substitute. But the students truly learn lessons of appreciation, respect, consequences of choice, and character as a result, and begin to search their teacher. Will they ever find her?
