Hello everyone!

Congratulations to Courtney Guynn on her recent acceptance to Susquehanna University! Courtney also received a scholarship to Susquehanna!

Congratulations to Marina Stevenson for her Honorable Mention in the Young Authors Writing Contest through Columbia College, Chicago!

Congratulations to Amanda Tomlinson, who was selected as the 2010 recipient of the United Way Student Service Award!

Congratulations to Jake Farrell on being selected to have one of his films screened in the Chicago International Youth Festival and The LA Film Festival!

We have had a full week in assembly this week. Seniors have been presenting their thesis work to the student body. This will continue into next week. On Wednesday, Erica Arvold, a casting agent, kicked off our career visits with a fascinating talk and q & a session. Also on Wednesday, we hosted an Open House to three visiting students.

Following Erica’s visit, Brian Fiddyment and Emily Kate Gillispie attended auditions for an upcoming film, “Danger! Zombies Run!” and were cast as sibling zombies!

This afternoon we will have the opening reception for our Annual Student Art Exhibition. The exhibition is from 4:30-5:30pm in the Assembly Room. The Opening will be over just in time for the first Friday’s After Five. Please invite friends and family to support our young artists! All Art I students are required to attend.

Have a great weekend!
