Willie the Elf week starts today sponsored by StuCo.

Each day Willie the Elf will ask the students to participate in an activity that helps spread holiday cheer. Today’s goal is to write your favorite teacher or teachers thing them for all they do.  When you are done with the letter leave it in their pod box.

Tomorrow Willie the Elf is asking each of you to bring an unwrapped toy to donate to Toys for Tots.  You can leave these gifts in the Pod boxes or with the officers.

Thanks,

The Theatre Department would like to congratulate Ashlyn Carter, Madelyn Chidester & Michelle DeMoss for qualifying for Nationals in Group Acting at this past weekend’s Texas Thespians Festival.  This means that they received an overall rank of Superior from three separate judges, which placed them within the top 10% of over a thousand students who competed.

Major congratulations also go out to London Strickland, who auditioned for colleges at the Festival and was accepted to Stephen F. Austin State University’s Theatre Education program.  London was offered a two-year scholarship valued at over $30,000.  It was a great weekend for the Clear Creek Theatre Department!

Thanks!
