Panther Weekly

March is Theatre In Our Schools month, a time when we celebrate and raise awareness of the power of #TheatreInOurSchools to develop well-rounded, empathetic, and thoughtful leaders. It a time when thousands of students, educators, and supporters join in grassroots campaigns that highlight how participation in school theatre programs helps students develop critical skills that will benefit them in their future careers regardless of whether they pursue arts after graduation. Exciting news is that last year our very own Gov. Kemp signed a proclamation declaring Georgia support and recognition of the importance of Arts Education.

The Team Members are:

Monica Kruger, Grayson Mayhew, Megan Chang, Upsana Patel, Ashley Ko, Theo Newton and Jason Schaefer

Odyssey of the Mind is a creative problem-solving competition that gives kids the confidence to think for themselves and to create solutions to any challenge. They compete in two areas. The first is a Spontaneous Competition that tests their ability to quickly solve original problems. The second is a Long-Term Competition that requires them to solve a problem through a script, costumes, and set.

As the team prepares for State Competition, if you happen to have any drink can pop tops you would be willing to donate to them, please drop them off in Mrs. Quillian's room, 3.128 in the E/F building.
