Get your ticket as quickly as you can!
Last week – Justin and Marilyn got their tickets!

Tuesday – Who will get their tickets?

We’ll be in Senior Exhibition Workshops during the mornings of Monday through Thursday.

We’ll start in our Advisory to check in, and then students will go to the Workshop room appropriate to where they are in the Exhibition process. Please see the Advisory 12 tab to get copies of the assignments.

Room 1 = Writing Room (reflection essay, research essay, action service plan)
Room 2 = Service Room (solidifying plans for community service, adult shadow, action service placement)
Room 3 = Script and Rehearsal (to write script and rehearse presentation)
Room 4 = Visuals (to create all three visuals)

After completing all four rooms, students will attempt to get their “Ticket” to present on May 16.
