The high school drama club is hard at work on their production of Chasing the Carpe Diem! Rehearsals began with the table read with a special guest, playwright Brenda Fager. This amazing opportunity gives the student cast the chance to learn from Ms. Fager's energy and the inspiration for her script and her characters. The curtain will open at 7 p.m. on November 17th and 18th. Friday night's performance will include an opportunity to ask questions of the cast and playwright immediately following the show. Chasing the Carpe Diem was written specifically for the high school stage. Under the direction of Suzanne Culver and Carrie Nelson, this will be the first-ever staged production of the show.

MOUNT MARKHAM CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT STAFF SHOUT-OUT JIM WROBEL & BETH WILSON THE NOMINATOR WROTE: "On the morning when our passwords expired and I ran into difficulties changing my password and logging into the computer, Beth advised me on how to reach Jim immediately and urged me to contact him by phone. Recognizing that this was not a routine web help desk request, her assistance and advice were essential. Jim, despite being flooded with requests this morning, promptly addressed my need and I was able to access this technology - which many of our jobs rely heavily upon - within 5 minutes. Because he addressed this urgent problem immediately, I was able to quickly return to my job duties with minimal interruption. These individuals are so giving and make a real difference in how smoothly our schools operate." images: Mount Markham Mustang, Beth Wilson & Jim Wrobel, red background, yellow and white text

Over the past two days, students in Ms. Culver's ELA 9 class were encouraged to explore the library and find independent reading titles by working together, under the guidance of Ms. Bailey and Ms. Tabor, to create Book Charcuterie Boards. Students reviewed the text of 5-7 novels and justified why and where each title should be included on their Book Charcuterie Board. Categories included Olives for Horror, Chocolate for Romance, Salted Meats for Realistic Fiction, and more. To round out the activity, Ms. Teater invited students into the Connected Community Schools HUB for a snack tray of goodies to celebrate a job well done.
