View the lovely poster! Thanks, Lindsey!
We have rehearsals this week on Tuesday and Thursday at the theater from 11:45 to 3:00. We could use a few drivers to pick up kids at 11:30 and drop them off at the theater on 7th and Jackson. (You could do this on your lunch break and get some yummy pho next door to the theater…)
Cast, please bring the following items:
- sack lunches (no microwave)
- scripts and a pencil
- necessary props for rehearsal
- your lines, cues, and blocking in your brain (Parents/guardians, please offer lines help to your student!)
Cast and crew — please, please, please try to avoid absences on Tuesdays and Thursdays and during play week. Every member is so important that having one person out really impacts rehearsal. There will be all-day (9am to 3pm) rehearsals at the theater during the week of May 27 - May 30. Please check the 8th grade play page for rehearsal dates and information. Parents and guardians, please check the schedule and make appointments accordingly.
Jan Frederick has sent out requests for play costumes and props. Please let her know if you can help!

Fuerza Sports
Ultimate Frisbee practices are on Wednesdays. Tennis practices are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The last tennis match is on May 22. See the sports page for map and directions. 6th and 7th grade players will dismissed at 2:30. 8th graders' matches will start later so that they can stay at play rehearsal until 3pm. They will need a driver to take them from the theater to the match.
The end of season party for tennis players is on May 27 at Stellar Pizza.
See lwgms.wikidot.com/sports for sign up, schedules, maps to courts, and other information.
