COSTUME HELP NEEDED

We now have all of the enchanted costumes for our production and, unfortunately, they need some work before we can use them. If you can sew on hooks & eyes, hem, or even use a glue gun, we can use your help! All of the required “tools” will be at the school this Thursday 1:30 – 7:30 and again on Saturday beginning at 9:00 a.m. Come and visit with other parents as we finish up the costumes for “Beauty & the Beast.” If you have any questions, please call Mrs. Linda Geppelt at 482-2702.

WORK NIGHT

Once again this Friday evening, beginning at 6:00, we will have a Work Night to work on the set of “Beauty & the Beast.” Parents and high school students, please plan to come and help us put the finishing touches on the set! The performances will be here before we know it, and the set MUST be completed as soon as possible. Join us for a time of work and fellowship!

RE-ENROLLMENT

If you have not turned in your enrollment forms, please turn them in as soon as possible!

SPRING PORTRAIT DAY

Our spring portrait day will be next Wednesday, April 8th, beginning at 8:00 a.m. Students do not have to wear their uniforms for their portrait, but MUST bring their uniform to change into after having their portrait taken. Portrait packages are printed for everyone and you get to see them before deciding if you want to buy them.

YEARBOOKS

2009 yearbooks are still for sale, but the early bird price is now over! The cost is now $35 per book. You can order on-line from our website or in the school office. The yearbooks will arrive in August and will be a complete record of this current school year. You will definitely want this hardback, full color yearbook, so order your copy now.

HOLOCAUST FILM AT CIRCLE CINEMA

The film “Blessed is the Match” will be shown this Sunday, April 5th, at 4:00 p.m. at the Circle Cinema at 12 S. Lewis. If you are interested in the Holocaust, Dr. Ehrlich recommends this film about the life and death of Hannah Senesh.
