No School Monday, February 8th!
We are expecting an unusually high number of absences due to the Saints Superbowl the night before, therefore we have elected to not have school on Monday. We do apologize if this inconveniences anyone, however the overwhelming majority of parents have said that they would like to be off of school Monday knowing that their children will not be at their best for school.

MISSOULA CHILDREN'S
THEATRE

Dear Parents:

Your child will have the opportunity again this year to participate in the Missoula Children's Theatre production of Pinocchio. Space is limited, and the spots are going very quickly. Please contact Mrs. Lolly Kudryashov if you are interested.

The Missoula Children's Theatre mission is the development of life skills in children through participation in the performing arts. Creativity, social skills, goal achievement, communication skills and self-esteem are all characteristics that are attained through participation in this unique and educational project. Our team of two professional tour actor/directors arrives in your town with scenery, costumes, props, make-up and basic lighting—everything it takes to put on a play . . . except the cast.


This week-long residency begins with an open group audition and culminates in two public performances. Fifty to sixty students grades K-12, or a combination of these ages, are cast and well rehearsed throughout the week, learning lines, songs and choreography to perform as an ensemble in producing a full-length musical. All of our shows are original adaptations of children's stories and fairytales—a twist on the classic stories that you know and love.

Visit www.mctinc.org for more information on Missoula Children's Theatre

When is it? April 5-10, 2010 (this is the week right after Easter) from 9 - 2 each day.

Where is it? Victory Christian Academy

How much is it? $100 for the first child and $80 for each additional child.

What is the production this year? Pinocchio

Age Groups: K-7 yrs, 8-12 yrs, 13-17 yrs
