WED. 5:30PM: DRAMA CLUB PERFORMANCE
The Northgate Crossing Drama Club has been hard at work, and this Wednesday at 5:30 PM they will debut their interpretation of "Alice in Wonderland".
This version of the play from 1921 opens with Carroll explaining the game of chess to his niece Alice. She soon falls asleep and is transported to Wonderland where she has many wondrous and bizarre adventures with illogical and strange creatures. She encounters several queens, joins a mad tea party, listens to poetry, and is accused of stealing the Queen’s tarts. This is a traditional telling of the beloved story of Alice in Wonderland with all the characters you know and love.
All are welcome, and families can enter directly into the gym for the performance.

LOST-AND-FOUND REMINDER
We have many lost items (jackets, lunchboxes, etc.) in our cafeteria lost-and-found area that will be donated at the end of the semester if not claimed. Please encourage your students to look for any of their lost items. If you visit your student for lunch on a Friday, this is a good opportunity to take a look for any missing items. Please reach out to your student's teacher to help facilitate if needed.
