(Atlantic, Iowa) – A foundation created following the death in 2021 of an Atlantic High School graduate and Iowa State University student, will pay the price of admission for persons attending a fall musical presentation at the Atlantic High School, of “Cinderella.”

Avery Andersen was very involved in the Atlantic School District’s Fine Arts program. Assistant High School Principal Andrew Mitchell said the Avery Andersen Foundation that was started by Avery’s parents Steve and Sue Andersen, works to provide scholarships to students, and serves in many other ways.

The musical takes place November 4th from 7:30-until 9:30-p.m., and November 5th from 2:30-until 4:30-p.m. The free tickets are available for the Nov. 5th performance. Andy Mitchell said the Andersen’s will keep track of the adult and student tickets used for the musical.

He says there will be a special presentation prior to the performance, in honor of Avery.
