Dinner Theater

The 6th grade dinner theater will be November 1 at the First Baptist Church on Main st. in Washington.

We ask that 4th and 5th year families help with providing the items for the menu and attend to support the 6th year students.

6th year families are asked to help provide menu items also. The students need to wear white dress shirts/blouses, dark pants/skirts and comfortable shoes to serve.

The students will be working on the scenery and props over the next two weeks, if you have any artistic ability and would like to help them, it would be greatly appreciated.

6th year parents;

The 6th year students have been practicing their play. I must say I was very impressed this morning. They have chosen a local murder mystery/ghost story from the local history of Washington. Ask your student about their character and costume that may be needed.
