MAY MADNESS

THIS MONTH is packed full of activity for students. Please see our calendar at the bottom of this blog for information about all the events scheduled during May.

ALL COSTUMES for the class play should now be at school. We conducted a technical rehearsal today with lighting and we'll add costuming to all scenes on Monday. Please contact your design team representative if you have a concern.

HAIR CUTS should take place this week for actors...especially the guys. Bangs should be at least a half-inch above the eyebrows and hair should be cut so the audience has a clear view of the stage-lit face. If in doubt, go shorter.

BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION need to be in by next Friday, May 8. Thank you for your continued support of this effort.

THE CAMPBELL FIELD STATION trip is on for Monday, May 4. Students and parent chaperones will need to bring a sack lunch and drink (no glass bottles). Students should also wear socks, shoes, long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt with a jacket. Annel Olthof, Wendy Walters, Kim Montgomery, and Maricon Hentschel will chaperone this field trip. We will leave Lake Hills promptly at 9:00 a.m.
