IMPROV 4 KIDS Assembly

On Thursday morning, four actors from Improv 4 Kids held assemblies for the KRS students. They taught students about how improvisation works and the importance of good listening in comedy (and in life). They emphasized that their comedy does not come at the expense of others. The group led wildly enthusiastic students in several improvisational sketches. Eager student volunteers provided sound effects, ideas for a Mad Lib-style play, silly poses for a “slide show”, and questions for a student expert. There was a lot of laughter! Improv 4 Kids holds weekend family improv comedy shows at the Broadway Comedy Club near Times Square. If interested, you are welcome to check them out at https://improv4kids.com/.

TASTE OF MADISON EVENT & FUNDRAISER

The Taste of Madison is a party for food lovers, a celebration of Madison as well as a fundraiser that benefits local non-profit initiatives.

Chefs from thirty of the area’s finest restaurants will serve samples of their best dishes. Gary's Wine & Marketplace will provide guests with fine wine, beer, and spirits. The Taste has a Silent Auction, Trick Tray and 50/50 Raffle. Tickets must be purchased in advance and guests must be at least 21 years old. The recommended attire is business casual. 

"The Taste of Madison was established in 2002 as a fun, town-wide fundraiser that is a cure for the winter blues", stated organizers. In its previous nineteen editions, the Taste of Madison has raised more than $600,000 and entertained more than 8,000 guests.

Please consider buying your tickets though the KRS PTO. We will receive $20 for every ticket we sell! Please see the flyer below for more info.

Thank you to Edie Myers-Arnold for planning yet another incredible assembly for all the children to enjoy. The energy in the room was electric and there were many, many laughs to be had.
