  • AUDITIONS for Briefs, an evening of contemporary 10-minute plays, will be held this Monday and Tuesday after school in the Black Box.  This is the perfect show to audition for if you have a tight schedule but would still love to do theater this fall - schedules are flexible, with just a couple of rehearsals per week.  We'll need to cover approximately 30 roles, so your odds are pretty good, too!  No prep or experience needed - just show up, read a script and get a cookie.  Questions?  See Mr. Bechtold in the auditorium.
  • Students who have registered for the PSAT or are planning to register. Practice Tests are available on the College Board website. (This is your reminder to register. Deadline is October 1st, 2018. Exam is in school on October 10th, 2018 Cost is $16.00)

And, to delve into more fun and fascinating topics in global affairs, debate in a low stakes environment, attend overnight conferences, and join a great community, come to Model UN’s first meeting this Thursday at 3:00 in Mr Fricke’s room (323). Snacks! See you there!
