Dear parents,

GO WILDE! What an amazing show! On three consecutive nights, audiences were transported in time and place to a land of gentility and farce. From outstanding performances to spot-on set and costume design, a truly magnificent evening. Now, on to Scotland for the traveling troupe!

We head into Spring Break and look ahead to a typically packed April and May, Coming up:

* Once again, I have attached a workshop proposal, in .pdf format and in .doc format, for the LREI Arts Festival 2006! This year, the Arts Festival is occurring on Friday, April 28, and will involve all students from grades 8 through 12. This is an exciting day when students choose from a variety of workshops offered by faculty, friends, parents and others in and out of the LREI school community. The workshops run in the morning and are followed by an afternoon of exhibitions. For more details, please see the attachment; in particular, if you or someone you know is interested in offering a workshop, please send the form in to me by Friday, April 14.

* Repeat announcement: For parents of Seniors: A letter outlining the details of how the Senior Project will run during the third trimester.

* Heads up - on the first Saturday back from break, COFFEEHOUSE! (When I say "Coffee," you say ...). This COFFEEHOUSE will have a bit of a harder rocking theme, with some of our louder bands playing.
