The Debutante’s Ball

March 2, 2015

– International Thespian conference- if you plan to attend, please let Ms. Hestwood know right away so we can plan. Garrett, Kaylee, Abby, Christina, Mark, Thomas and Quintin should let Ms. H know either way.

-Kevin Breel Event-

On April 7th, we are hosting Kevin Breel, comedian and mental health activist as part of our Community Outreach. Plan to attend!

On March 19th, we will do a VERY short poster plaster for this event. Sign-up outside the choir room to help us promote out Community Outreach.

For the event, they are looking for a student panel made up of kids 16 or older who have had experience with mental illness, either themselves or in their family/close circle of friends. Let Ms. H know if you are interested in participating.

– Elementary Outreach- The LoftPAC mission includes developing the next generation of theater goers and performers. HERE IS YOUR CHANCE! We are still in need of helpers for Middleton Elementary on March 20-21 and for Liberty Ridge on April 10-11. Please sign up to help wrangle kids and get them excited about being part of the Loft someday! Sign-up outside the choir room.

-Place your loft gear order by March 6th if you would like to receive your order during this school year!

IMPORTANT: We will have our LoftPAC picture taken on March 16th for the yearbook. We don’t yet know what time but students should wear Loft gear and listen carefully to announcements. Ms. H will be out of town so officers will coordinate!

-Auditions- Try out!

-Tech Meeting: March 17th after school.
