Park Hill Registration and Thursday Practice

Practice is from 7:45  - 8:45.  We had several students missing on Monday due to other conflicts so to make the most of our time together you will need to be prepared.

•  Elizabeth will be there around 7:30 to start working with kids in the commons. 
• Have your materials ready and available so when it is your turn you can jump right in.
• When you aren't working with a coach use your time wisely, time your piece finish cutting, work with captains.  

Turn in forms for Park Hill.  They are due on Friday, but to have them Thursday would be the easiest as we will all be together.  We would really like a good turn out for these traveling tournaments so please do your part to work on your pieces and come prepared and ready to compete! :)

Glenbrooks Deadline

Glenbrooks forms due TODAY.  Check below if you have misplaced your form.

With this much advanced notice, students should be able to easily coordinate with their teachers to get their work done in advance, or plan an alternate schedule for completion. It is the student's responsibility to coordinate with his/her teachers and ensure that all work is accounted for.

Please come prepared with:

• Your original source material (i.e. the original script)
