Congratulations to the medal winners at the State Special Olympics swim meet-Laura Smith, Madison Morsefield, Nick Menasian and Andrew Sickle!

The Dram Guild is looking for responsible creative students to serve as crew heads for the musical.  You can apply for costumes, makeup, publicity, or props.  Applications are on the bookshelf in the scene shop and are due to Mrs. Kaplan by Friday.

Because of weather conditions last Thursday, we have rescheduled a meeting for this Thursday. We will be meeting from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. in Room 138. If you are unable to attend, please check out the flyer we put together.

If you would like additional info, or have questions, please contact Mr. Susel (ke_rsusel@kentschools.net) or Mr. Phillips (ke_jphillips@kentschools.net).

By the way… the early registration deadline of January 15, 2010, will lock in the 2009 prices (note: the cost of this trip is not only less expensive than the 2009 trip, but it is only $60 more expensive than the 2007 trip was!), so there are definitely advantages to getting on board early.

Ciao!
