Two sophomores, never having played together before, took 3rd in the #1 doubles spot. The team was entered in the gold division and competed against five other schools. Great job, Wolves!
BOOKENDS VISITS
In September, APAC/Company Theatre went on its biannual two-day tour of CUSD elementary schools performing their Bookends show for K-3rd grade students promoting a love for reading. The theme this semester was Magic and the books they "acted out" were Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses, Shrek, The Lorax, Peter and Wendy, and Matilda. The young students loved seeing our drama wolves in action and hopefully were inspired to check out a book at the library!
