Missoula Children's Theater is coming on February 22rd through February 27th!  Auditions will be held immediately after school on Monday the 22rd from about 3:15-5:15 p.m..  Approximately 50 children will be chosen for our school production of "Pinocchio".  Friday, February 26th at 2:00 p.m., there will be an all-school assembly presented by our touring directors.  This is a fun, interactive assembly unrelated to the production.  Saturday, February 27th, the cast and crew will give us two performances at 3:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.!  Many volunteers will be needed.  Please note that auditions will be closed again this year.  Also, if you know your child has any conflicts during the week or is not feeling well please do not have them audition.  The directors are not able to keep a list of alternates and we have lost spots for kids to participate due to drop-outs in the past (happily, none last year!).  We look forward to an outstanding week of hard work and fun!  If you have any questions please email or call Alison Hoseth at awigstromhoseth@hotmail.com or 761-9730.
 
Needed: 
  • Volunteers to walk the children from Hoyt to Washington on Monday after school.
  • Volunteers to bake or bring items for the concessions stand AND workers for the stand.
The clothes closet is low on smaller-sized pants, sizes 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10. We have more than enough in larger sizes, and more than enough shirts, but if you have clean gently used pants of the listed sizes, please consider donating them to the clothes closet.
We also need socks! New or gently used would be great! We need both girls and boys all sizes! Thank you!

CHESS CLUB It's not too late to join the Chess Club! Anyone interested in learning to play chess is welcome to join us in the gym on Thursday's after school from 3:40-4:40 PM. No experience needed, we teach the basis on up to advanced strategy ...come and learn to play the fun game of chess! Any questions, call the MacDonald house at (253) 761-0369

Chess club is looking for new coordinators for next year to keep the chess club going.  This could be one or two parents who come to school once a week to help set up boards, make sure permission forms are filled out, and possibly help teach beginners by using the curriculum provided (no chess knowledge required).  Let us know if you are interested.
