Middle School Drama
Mark Your Calendars for The Aliens Are Coming! The Aliens Are Coming! by Tim Kelly
The owners of The Meteorite Inn, Doug and his sister, Peggy, decide to capitalize on the fact that they’re close to a restricted zone known only as ’Area 502.’ (Rumor has it the government keeps an alien prisoner housed there!) The hotel’s dining room specialty becomes ’Marsburgers’ and they rent out the conference room to Hyacinth Muggleworth, a rather eccentric lady who’s holding a UFO convention. The Meteorite Inn overflows with excited UFO believers and speakers who claim they’ve been abducted by aliens and held prisoner in spaceships! Sheriff Chickamauga tries to figure things out as he munches on a doughnut. Is that an alien starship hovering overhead? With its hilarious action and funny dialogue, this play is out of this world! You could even say it’s X-cellent!
The performances will be on December 9 and 10 at the middle school. Tickets will be sold at the door starting at 6:30 pm. The curtain rises at 7:30 pm. Adult tickets are $8 and $5 for Students/Seniors with ID. Tickets are cash only, exact change appreciated. We hope to see you there!
COVID
As a reminder, students who are sick should REMAIN at HOME. For those students who have symptoms that might indicate the potential of COVID, they will need to be tested before returning to school. COVID testing can be done in the Doctor's office, community testing site or an at-home test with results provided to the School Nurse. If negative, a student may return when feeling well and has no sick symptoms. In cases where students do test positive for COVID, they will need to remain home for a minimum of five days. Students who test positive for COVID and return to school after five days are strongly recommended to wear a well fitting mask around others through the tenth day. Please contact our school nurse with any questions.
Student IDs
It is very important for students to have their student IDs with them at all times during the school day. Student IDs are required for buying lunch, riding the bus, and other various reasons.
Chromebooks.
Please be aware of our updated protocol for the 22-23 school year:
Students are expected to bring their school issued Chromebook & charger to school
every day.
It is the students’ responsibility to have their Chromebook charged every day.
If a student does not have their Chromebook/charger, they will be sent to the main
office to call a parent/guardian to bring what they are missing.
Students who have non-working Chromebooks should report to the main office for a
loaner. When students receive their repaired Chromebook, it is expected that they return the loaner. Students will need their school ID for this process.
The cost to replace a charger is $35.
The cost to replace a Chromebook will depend on the age of the Chromebook.
