·      A series of disastrous blind dates! Teens who express their angst by sharing selfies! A man obsessed with small, fluffy animals!   Come out and enjoy a night of theatre on May 15th from 7-9pm in the Commons! The Advanced Theatre class will perform three one-act plays: Check Please, Selfie, and Of Mice and Men. Refreshments will be for sale and a donation of $5 is appreciated.


Community  & Guidance Ops: 
·      Big shout out to Chloe Weaver and Caleb Weaver for being accepted to a 5-week summer program at the Berklee School of Music in Boston for this summer!  They each received full scholarships worth $10,000!  Bravo!
