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

Parents,

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.

Help Needed with Unexcused Absences

Parents,

It is important that your child has an accurate attendance record. As we approach the end of the school year, we request your help in clearing up any unexcused student absences in a timely manner. If your child has any absences from this 2022-2023 school year that you did not provide a reason for, or you are unsure, please contact our attendance clerk, Mrs. Karla Zelaya:
