The MHS creative arts anthology, The Driftwood, has been named a Superior magazine in the 2023 NCTE Recognizing Excellence in Art and Literary Magazines (REALM) contest!

Michael Brown (CEPS 1st grade teacher), Paul Gregg (MHS choir director) and Brooke Hauser (CEPS Assoc. Principal) are acting in this sweet, funny, lovely play that will benefit our local food pantry! This would make a fantastic date night, girls night out, group event, or any of the above. Tickets are $20 and the seating is general admission, so folks who'd like to sit together can do so regardless of when you buy your tickets. Chat with a friend or two and come check out this terrific benefit show! Use the poster QR codes here or click to buy tickets at bit.ly/almostmcfarland! *This community event is for ages 13+
