7th Grade Students to Attend High School Production of MacBeth
Once again this year, PLSD Junior High students will have the opportunity to attend theatrical productions at their respective high schools. This is a great chance for our students to see our high school theatre department perform, and decide if it is something they would like to pursue.
On Thursday, November 7th, all 7th grade students will attend MacBeth at Pickerington High School Central.
- Bus riders will be dropped off at the high school.
- Walkers & Car riders will go directly to PHS-Central's main entrance (by logos)
- Students who normally ride a bike are to either walk or be dropped off at the high school.
- After the play, all students will return to Ridgeview by bus in time for lunches, and will resume their normal class schedule.
