I'm taking a break from a wonderful weekend with my grandchildren in order to get my blog out for this week. I thought some sunny pictures on the US steps would get everyone in the mood for spring. With 3 weeks left in the spring term, and PROM right around the corner, life in the US is bustling with activity. Here's what's coming up...
Monday night, April 21, we are hosting an exciting event at 7:30pm in the Meeting Hall: Conversations About Peace. Representatives of the 3 leading candidates to represent us in the U.S. Senate will speak about how they would bring Peace to a war-weary world. Speakers will include Lindsey Neas, military advisor to Senator Elizabeth Dole; Chip Hagan, representing his wife, Kay Hagan, candidate for U.S. Seanate; and Jim Neal, candidate for U.S. Senate. The candidates will respond to 6 key questions put forward by 23 local organizations.
Our US spring production of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing will be presented Friday and Saturday, April 25-26 at 7:30pm in the Center. There will be an open dress rehearsal on Thursday at 7:30, as well. Co-directed by Susan Kincaid and senior Jes Downing, this delightful, family-friendly comedy will challenge us to think about romance, rumor, trust, betrayal, and of course love. Set in 1920's New England, our actors will entertain you with their Charleston and Tango. Come and enjoy!
Our US Advisee Day is Monday, April 28. You should be hearing from your child's advisor about their group's plans.
Just a reminder about Grocery Scrip. Parents are always available to sell them to you. Please contact parent Karen Davis, if you have any questions.
