SCHOOL INFO:
School Calendar:
Please make sure to check out the Leland & Gray school calendar. It differs from the District calendar because of professional development days for our faculty. The full calendar can be found here.
Refuse To Use 2019 Kickoff:
We have our date and our speaker for the Refuse To Use 2019 Kickoff Event.
I have confirmed the "Eddie Speaks" presentation for September 20th from 6:30 - 7:30 PM.
This event is MANDATORY for all students (grades 9-12 and their parents) who want the 2019 RTU Stratton unlimited season pass for $35.00
School Lunch:
The Abbey Group Welcome Back Packet can be found here.
Fall Musical:
The Pajama Game!
Winning best musical in 1955, The Pajama Game is about labor troubles in a pajama factory, where workers' demands for a seven-and-a-half cent raise are going unheeded. In the midst of this ordeal, love blossoms between Babe, the grievance committee head, and Sid, the new factory superintendent. (from Wiki) There are a lot of great songs, fun characters, and an overall powerful story about union rights.
You can watch the movie version on Amazon Prime for free. It stars Doris Day and is fabulous.
I'm super psyched to have settled on a musical that feels really right for us. (Thanks to James for suggesting this show!)
Can you please do me a favor and encourage students to audition? Many seniors graduated this year and many middle schools switched schools, which means we have a smaller acting pool this year. Anyone and everyone should audition, experience is not necessary. Auditions are September 4-5 from 2:45-4:30. They should bring a song (could be from this show!) and I'll have scenes ready to read from. Attached is the flyer. Performances will be Nov 9-11.
Thanks and see you all in a few weeks!
Theatrically yours,Jessa
