*****Registration for the 2019-2020 School Year *****
Tuesday, January 29th, 3-5, Cast Sweet! – Full Cast
Wednesday, January
30th, 3-5, both casts – Ellie, Katherine, Sa-vannah, Adam, Karl,
Monica
Thursday, January 31st, 3-5, Cast Awe-
some – Full Cast
If there is any student who missed auditions but
who would still like to be a part of the play, just talk to Mrs. Scialo. There are
still some roles open. And remember – we can’t pull this off without a wonder-
ful crew as well. So speak to her about that too. Al-so, please let Mrs. Scialo
know as soon as possible sizes for each of your ac-tors.
Snacks for Practices
Although we like to think the students come back every year for the love of
theater, we really think it is for warm juice and Dor-itos – and we cannot dis-
appoint them. Just drop off a snack and/or drink in the office and let them
know it is for the play and we will use it when we need it.

Freaky Friday
Auditions for this year’s spring musical, Freaky
Friday the Musical, were held Tuesday. We say this every year but these were
by far the hardest audi-tions we have held. In some cases we had 10 –
11 students trying out for the same role. The 8th grade girls were phenom-
enal which made the casting even more diffi-cult. We are so very
proud of all the students who went beyond their
comfort zone to prove how much they wanted their roles. But in the
end, it all fell in to place and we hope we have not disappointed anyone.
First practice for everyone – both casts – is today, Thursday, in the School
Hall until 5:00 PM.

Mar tin Luther King, Jr. Bir thday
was assassinated in 1968.
In 1968, shortly after Mar-
tin Luther King died, a
campaign was started for
his birthday to become a
holiday to honor him. Af-
ter the first bill was intro-
duced, trade unions lead
the campaign for the fed-
eral holiday. It was en-
dorsed in 1976. Following
support from the musician Ste-
vie Wonder with his single
"Happy Birthday" and a petition
with six million signatures, the
bill became law in 1983. Martin
Luther King Day was first ob-
served in 1986, although it was
not observed in all states until
the year 2000. In 1990, the Wy-
oming legislature designated
Martin Luther King Jr/Wyoming
Equality Day as a legal holiday.
Martin Luther King was an important civil rights activist. He was a leader in the movement to end racial segregation in the United States. His most famous address was the "I Have A Dream" speech. He was an advocate of non-violent protest and became the youngest man to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He
