ARTS SPARK COMMUNITY DISCUSSION
This year at MSA students have been diving into the Arts Integration Theme, "Investigating The American Dream." In partnership with the Asolo Theater, a "Faces of Change" performance at MSA on April 8th explored some challenging American issues.
Every year, for the "Faces of Change" project, the Education Department of Asolo Rep reaches out into the community to conduct interviews with a variety of people. They pick a topic based on one of the plays from the current Asolo Rep season, and whittle down interview subjects’ comments into a compact, bold theater piece. FACES OF CHANGE is performed as a staged reading at various locations in Sarasota and Manatee counties.
This year, the topic in question was how we respond to racially motivated violence. In an exciting new partnership between MSA and Asolo Rep director, Ria Cooper interviewed a handful of MSA students. These interviews were included in the script and MSA was chosen as one of four performance venues for the project.
The MSA performance sparked valuable discussion about this pressing issue, and showed that the arts can invite and propel community discussion.

Parent Pick up Reminders
The entrance of Riviera Dunes, the bank, rehab center, the furniture store or the Courtney are not places that students may be picked up at the end of the day.
We have great relationships with our neighbors and we can't interfere with their businesses or the daily function of their clients. All surrounding businesses have been advised to call local law enforcement if they continue to have problems with parents picking up on their property.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Attention 6th Grade Parents
The State of Florida requires proof of immunization on all students entering 7th grade each year. This proof must be on the official State of Florida Immunization Form (DH680... the Blue Card) which is obtained from your doctor's office or the Heath Department. The following immunizations must be documented on this form:
* Tetanus, Diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) - This is the update shot that you need for 7th Grade.
* Hepatitis B vaccine series
* Varicella vaccine or the year of disease
* Two doses of MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella)
Please see your doctor or the Health Department for more information and to assure that your child has met these requirements. This documentation must be submitted to the school before the first day of school next year (August 10, 2017). Students will not be allowed to come to school until these shot requirements are met. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
