Fall Play Ticket Sales Now Open!
A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy play written by William Shakespeare. The play is set in Athens, and consists of several subplots that revolve around the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta. One subplot involves a conflict among four Athenian lovers. Another follows a group of six amateur actors rehearsing the play which they are to perform before the wedding. Both groups find themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies who manipulate the humans and are engaged in their own domestic intrigue. The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular and is widely performed.

Work Opportunity with High School Students
The EHS AVID program is looking to hire one additional AVID tutor.
We are seeking adults (18+) to work with high school students four mornings a week. This might include current college students, retirees, or anyone who has a desire to work with students directly.
Hours: Mondays-Thursdays; 7:30-9:30 AM
Pay: About $18 an hour
Duration: 2023-24 school year (and possibly following years)
AVID students engage in tutorials during the AVID class hour. The role of the adult tutor is to be a group facilitator who helps guide the students through their confusion and help them help one another. The tutor does not need to be an expert in a given field of study. New tutors will be provided online AVID training.
