The cost is $25 if registered by October 24th, and $35 late registration after October 24th. The workshop will include music, dancing, character profiles, acting tips, and audition tips and information. Lunch is also included.

Students attending the workshop are not required to audition for the play, and students not attending the workshop may still audition for the play (they must learn the music and dance steps from someone who attended). Students taking the ACT on November 1st can still attend the afternoon sessions of the workshop – call the office for information.

ISRAEL TRIP MEETINGS

The first Israel Tour meeting is this Sunday, October 26th, at 3:00. These meetings are required for all students going to Israel next spring or thinking of going. These teaching times are also open to anyone who simply want to know more about the land of Israel: history, politics, and people. This Sunday we will be using maps to discuss the history of the Middle East and Israel and how that affects the current Arab-Israel conflict. Come prepared to learn and participate! The next two meeting dates are:

Sunday, November 16, 3:00 p.m.

Sunday, December 7, 3:00 p.m.

PLAN TEST FOR 10TH GRADERS

All ACA 10th graders will be taking the PLAN test next Tuesday, October 28th. Full-time and part-time sophomores will take this test, so part-time students should be here even if that is not normally when you are at school. The test begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. so be on time!

NOVEMBER LUNCH ORDER FORMS

The monthly lunch order forms for November are now available in the school office or by clicking here. If you are ordering for the month, please bring your order form and payment to the school office by Friday, October 31st.

PICTURE RE-TAKES AND MAKE UP DAY

Any student or teacher who missed the first picture day should be here next Thursday, Oct. 30th to get your picture taken for the yearbook. Also, if you purchased a package of portraits last time and you are not happy with them, you can return your package and have your picture taken again. The photographer will be here only a short time that morning, so plan to be here promptly at 8:00 a.m. to have your portrait taken. Students must wear their colored polo shirt for their picture. Contact Mrs. Brewer if you have any questions.

DONUTS & COFFEE ON FRIDAYS
