Performing Arts Winter Production

Ms. Tennisco and her Performing Arts students will be presenting "Emotional Baggage" on December 17-18, 2024 at MSS. Showtimes are as follows:

  • December 17/18 - Student Matinees.
  • December 18: Evening Show for students, staff, parents, families.
    • 7:00pm @ MSS.

Everyone has their own emotional baggage. What is yours? Characters walk into a train station with their emotional baggage and can’t leave it behind. Emotional baggage holds them back, as they explore whether they will ever be able to let it go. What happens when they meet someone who can leave it behind? Will they learn to let go or carry their emotional baggage with them forever? This play addresses how we handle our emotional baggage and work towards leaving it behind.

We have an opportunity to hit the slopes at Nakiska Ski Resort. This ski/snowboard day-trip has been scheduled for Tuesday, February 11, 2025. Students must arrive at school at 8:20 am. We will depart Marshall Springs by 8:45 am on Tuesday. Our lessons will end at 3:45 pm and we will return to the school by approximately 5:00 pm (please make alternate plans if you take the bus).

We can only accommodate 40 students for this optional experience. If your child is interested in participating in this field trip, your child will need to see Mr. Mak for a permission form. As forms are returned to Mr. Mak, they will be numbered accordingly. Any forms received after 40 will be waitlisted. Forms are DUE by FRIDAY December 13. In your MyCBE account under Fees, you will have until Friday, December 20 to pay in FULL to secure your child's spot. If your fee is not paid, you will relinquish your spot.
