Recap: Thank You: Outreach Committee
The Fernbrook Thanksgiving Outreach Initiative was a tremendous success! The Outreach Committee would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to all of the families and teachers that contributed to the drive. We were able to provide gift cards to 12 of our very own Fernbrook families in need to be able to purchase food for their Thanksgiving Day meals.
We could not have done this without the help of our wonderful school nurse, Mrs. Jennifer Cutri and the support of Dr. Bernal and Mrs. Amin.
In addition, the PTO Executive Board would also like to send a special THANK YOU to the members of the Outreach Committee: Jodi McLean, Teri Fitzpatrick and Melissa Zimmerman. We appreciate all of the time you put into the planning and execution for this effort.
The Outreach Committee will be hosting a Winter Drive for our Fernbrook Families during the month of December- be on the lookout for more information on how you can help and/or assist.
Community News: Randolph High School Poptoberfest
Randolph High School Theater Production invites audiences to experience the musical comedy, epic tragedy, and universal storytelling of not just one Fall Play, but two Fall 2023 plays from the William Shakespeare literary cannon: Romeo and Juliet, an original adaptation, and As You Like It, a musical adaptation created by Shaina Taub and Laurie Woolery.
On Thursday, November 30 and Saturday, December 2 at 7:00 PM, journey to the heart of a post-apocalyptic Verona in Romeo and Juliet, an epic saga of two young lovers from famous feuding families, whose newfound passion and romance defies all odds only to become entangled in a tragic and disastrous web of fate.
On Friday, December 1 at 7:00 PM and Saturday, December 2 at 1:00 PM, step into the enchanting and musical world of As You Like It, where love, laughter, and adventure come to life in a joyous and profound tale of mistaken identity, romance, and unity. Follow Rosalind, Orlando, and a motley cast of characters as they escape the wrath of Duke Frederick only to discover sanctuary, new understandings, and community in the magical Forest of Arden.
