STUDENT BULLETIN

Student Recognition & Congratulations:

Congratulations to all of our TSA members, it was a great weekend of competition, fun and friendship!  13 qualified to attend Nationals in Nashville, TN in June.  Marylou Barrios, Pieter VanLeewan, Raquel Walker, Jack Gore, Anne Mashak, Kiefer Wilkins, Lex Graham, Connell Smith, Matt Calkins, Sophie Engeman, Rollin Poe, Justin Schreiber and Anna Maestas - Anna was also elected as State TSA reporter.  Congratulations too all.  Great Job!

Special Events:

The Box office will open during lunches beginning TODAY, for Mel Brooks The Producers, our Mane Stage Spring Musical and Mr. Eric Pung's directorial debut! This show is rated PG13; not recommended for young children unless you know the show.  Originally a Mel Brooks film in 1968, The Producers was adapted by Brooks as a stage musical in 2001. The story of a down and out producer who pairs with a neurotic accountant to create "the Worst Show On Broadway" in order to make two million dollars has all of the requisite Mel Brooks humor...which boils down to the phrase "funny....but wrong".   Hope to see there!  Show Times:  Thursday, February 25 at 7pm; Friday, February 26 at 7pm; and Saturday, February 27 at 1pm and 6pm.
