![Following three years as Student Activities Director, Palo Alto High School teacher Steven Gallagher is stepping down from the position and will be helping current dance teacher Alyssa Bond to step into the position. According to Gallagher, he enjoyed the collaborative aspect as well as seeing students grow throughout the process. “I really liked working with all students in this type of atmosphere as opposed to an academic atmosphere,” Gallagher said. “That was really rewarding, especially after Spirit Week, when a lot of the students were like ‘I don't know how we're going to do this [plan Spirit Week],’ and then at the end, they end up doing it successfully.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/364A6531-1200x800.jpg)

According to Blumenfeld, a struggle in producing a musical with many students involved is getting to know everyone on a deeper level. “Because [“Mamma Mia!”] is so big, getting to know every single person and everyone's styles and techniques is hard, although it's definitely also the most rewarding part of it,” Blumenfeld said. “Being able to work with so many new people, and also developing those relationships [with everyone] because that needs to happen before opening night.” (Photo: Leena Hussein)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/DSC_0103-900x600.jpeg)
![Actors run through a full dress rehearsal of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee". According to senior student producer Bees Baldwin, there is substantially less rehearsal time for this show. "We have a really short production schedule [for "Spelling Bee"], but on the flip side we don't have to build or paint a lot of sets and prepare in that way,” Baldwin said.](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/DSC_2655-2-900x601.jpg)
