The Parents Association Supporting Theatre Arts recently elected new officers for the 2014-15 academic year. The group, founded in 2012, has also expanded its focus to support more students in the Hanover Public School District.
Kathi Martin is the new president and Stacey Zitto was elected vice president. Maureen Edelin is secretary and Idonia Klunk is treasurer.
PASTA was originally designed to raise funds to supplement drama staff positions not covered by the district budget. However, the school board and administration have returned those positions to the budget, giving PASTA more freedom to focus its efforts.
Beginning this fall, PASTA will also lend support to the district’s choral arts programs.
PASTA meets at 2 p.m. the third Sunday of each month in the Hanover High School choral room. For more information, email hanoverpasta@gmail.com.
