The week ahead is full of the Wizard of Oz! The time has arrived to see all the months of hard work that have gone into making this production happen. Full day rehearsals were kicked off this weekend and will continue throughout the week until opening night on Thursday, March 5th.
Special Events/Interruptions to This Week's Schedule:
Monday: Regular classes in the morning and special schedule (already distributed) for the afternoon with the entire cast and crew going to the McPherson Theatre.
Tuesday: Chapel followed by a special schedule for the rest of the day as students and many staff are at the McPherson.

(The students remaining at the school will have a modified schedule for the day, this will be given to them in the morning. They will need to have their PE gear).
All other Grade 8 Boarders are allowed to be in casual clothes. They still need to arrive at school at the usual time, will go to TAG, will go to Chapel and will then be directed on to buses going down to the theatre. There will be bag lunches for them and they will be back on campus around 3 pm. There is Prep tomorrow night at the Middle School as usual.
