PROM: Saturday, May 2, from 9-1 in the Meeting Hall, which will be transformed into The Arabian Nights. Tickets are $20/each (most schools charge $50-$75), which will go to cover the cost of decorations, dj, and refreshments. Students may bring one guest from outside CFS and must buy their tickets before Saturday. Once they arrive at the Prom, they may not leave and return. They will either stay for the evening or leave for the evening. Students do NOT need to have a date! Many of our students will go in groups. Some kids will come on their own. Dress is the choice of each individual--dressy, informal, or Halloween costume! We hope this Prom will be a fun evening for all. (Parents are welcome to sneak in to see the decorations, but you may not stay long!)
US CELEBRATION OF THE ARTS: Thursday, April 30, from 6-8pm. US families are invited to contribute to a potluck dinner for our families, staff, and MS riser families. Amelia's 1st period class has planned a fun evening, complete with live and recorded music, poetry, art displays, t-shirts for sale, photography, and scenes from Footloose. They held a t-shirt design contest. Below, you can see the winning designs: Jonas is holding Xin's design, and the black t-shirt on the left is Jessye's creation. Congratulations to these talented artists! The money raised through the sale of t-shirts will go cover expenses for this evening and into the Art budget. I have also included photos of Kyle's corn husk doll and Tamsen's acrylic painting. We hope you can join us for fun and fellowship...and to welcome new MS riser families to our community.
Artist extraordinaire...Hannah at work.

We have some new and exciting classes that you might want to check out: Bryce's Roman World, Gus's Brasilian Culture, Shane and I will co-teach a class on Hitchcock, Susan's Women Authors of the 1950's, Susan's Feminism is not a 4-letter word (women authors of the 1970's), Susan's Newton Grove Documentary, Jamie's History of Romance, and Tim's Homosexualtiy and Religion. I am very excited about our course offerings for next year.
Just a reminder that the final performances of FOOTLOOSE will be presented this weekend. Congratulations to our cast, crew, and band who are all looking forward to getting some badly needed sleep. As I look out my window at the vibrant shades of green that have filled in winter's spaces, I thought I might include Carl Sandburg's Spring Grass...
Spring grass, there is a dance to be danced for you.
Come up, spring grass, if only for young feet.
Come up, spring grass, young feet ask you.
Smell of the young spring grass,
You're a mascot riding on the wind horses.
You came to my nose and spiffed me. This is your lucky year.
Young spring grass just after the winter,
Shoots of the big green whisper of the year,
Come up, if only for young feet.
come up, young feet ask you.
Enjoy the green!
