EVENTS OR NOTICES





8th Graders Take Notice
Shrek the Musical

Hi all,

BFA is holding auditions for our fall musical in the spring this year.  All high school students voted and Shrek the Musical was chosen.  I would like to ensure that 8th graders are made aware of the opportunity.  We will hold fall auditions for ensemble but leads will be cast this spring. We have also added a day of workshops.  Students should attend BOTH workshop days.

Schedule for Shrek Audition week is as follows:

Acting Workshop: Monday 5/21 3:45-5:00 in the Performing Arts Center at BFA
Singing/Dance: Tuesday 5/22 3:45-5:45
Auditions: Thursday 5/24 3:45-6:00
Call Backs: 3:45-6:00

Thanks!
Susan Palmer

SPRING CLEANING
A Second grade Explorer came up with the idea to clean up our walking path.  She found multiple water bottles, soda cans, cereal containers, juice containers, and even a Frisbee!  She recycled the plastic and threw out the trash.  But not to worry, the Frisbee is in the storage unit by the snow tubes! She would like to remind everyone that Earth Day is coming up soon and to be kind to our Earth.
