Friday, April 24 was a day when we went to see the On-Act plays at the high school done by the 9th and 10th grade students and directed by Seniors. They were very well-acted and hilarious ! The plays were "The Seven Wives of Dracula" and "Check Please". The first play gave a twisted view of what happened to Count Dracula when he became involved in life at a sanitorium for the insane - hijinks ensued ! "Check Please" had short excerpts from the worst dating disasters anyone could imagine and the humor involved in dealing with those. Many of the former TAG students were involved in the plays in both acting and directing.
One of our 8th grade Students has been very successful with a History Day project and will be traveling to Boston as a result of the project ! Emma J. and her partner, Katie S. did an extensive project about Leymah Gbowee of Liberia and have been invited to visit an awards ceremony for Ms. Gbowee in Boston in May where she will receive the JFK Profile in Courage Award.Ms. Downing, their Social Studies instructor, will also accompany them to Boston. It should be a great trip as they will get to spend a couple of days seeing historic sites as well as attend the awards. What a great experience that will be for all of them and congratulations to all three for a job well done !
Purple comet math contest this week. Sixth and seventh grade students have teams competing in an hout long math contest this week. It should be a challenge and will help us see where we need more work.
