THEATRE VERITAS, AN EASTER FILM PROJECT

Theatre Veritas is thrilled to announce that tickets are availble for "purchase." The ticketed event is FREE, but patrons still need to "purchase" a ticket so that they're able to watch the video on demand.
JOG THE STATE WINNER

I am very pleased to announce that we have a winner in the Jog the State race: Grammar School has crossed the finish line! The 1st-5th graders have jogged in PE since September a combined total of 1010 miles! 

Logic School's total is 840 miles and includes jogging efforts in PE and Advanced PE. While they didn't come away with the win, their efforts definitely are respectable. Logic School students are turning their attention to upcoming track and field events in PE where they can really show off their talents and abilities - stay tuned! 

But to the victor go the spoils, in this case, ice cream sandwiches. We will celebrate the 1st-5th grade students with a ceremonial finish to the Jog the State efforts on the athletic field at 2:30-2:50 p.m. on Wednesday, March 17th. Pictures to follow!

Thanks for keeping up with this year's Jog the State project!
Coach Chris
