Music For Change
It’s still not too late to sign up for auditions to be part of this incredible event! There are still audition slots available for Thursday and Friday- you can sign up for one here. Also, please keep in mind that the end goal is four pieces per each of our main themes: Empowering Women, Protecting the Environment, and Helping Children. We have an abundance of auditions for the Empowering Women category- which is great, but we need to spread the wealth to some of the other themes. If you haven’t yet signed up, please consider choosing one of the two other themes. It’s also not too late to change your audition piece if possible. Thanks and we look forward to your auditions!!
Senate
It’s that time of year: Committee President and VP elections for next school year are being held! President positions are full-year while VP positions are a half-year role, and positions are open to both rising Juniors and Seniors. Catherine Paris will soon be sending out an email with more information and instructions on how to apply to run- if you have any questions, you can contact her at parisc23@kentplace.org.
Athletic Association
Get excited- our schoolwide dodgeball tournament is coming up soon! It’ll be held on Wednesday, 4/5 from 2:30-3:30 in the gymnasium. Also, Caitlin Williams will be sending out an email for a March Madness bracket competition. The email will have a form to fill out predicting who will win the last 4 March Madness games, and whoever’s guesses are the most accurate will win a prize for their advisory. Lastly, congratulations to Dr. Galambos for winning the faculty ping pong tournament!
