Skaneateles Middle School Drama Club Presents Schoolhouse Rock Live, Jr!:
The Middle School Drama Club is proud to present Schoolhouse Rock Live, Jr.! Please help us support our Middle School performers who lost their production in 2020 (Beauty and the Beast) due to the COVID-19 closure. This year's group has brought you a 45-minute blast from the past - how many of us remember those Schoolhouse Rock songs that taught us so much in just one little ditty? From Zoom rehearsals to live (under one hour) rehearsals to nearly normal rehearsals at The Rev (formerly Merry-Go-Round Playhouse), these young performers have worked so hard to bring us all a theatrical production during the most odd times! Please enjoy the show and consider donating in any way you see fit to help us get this program back on its feet!
LIVE PREMIERE:

Dear Skaneateles family,
We are reaching out to solicit community participation in planning for two grants made available to our district via the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA) and the American Rescue Plan (ARP). These grants combined will bring in over one million dollars in federal funds over the next four years and provide a unique opportunity to address specific student needs we are seeing in our school community.
To that end, we need your help and will be holding two community forums to share information about how these funds can be spent and to seek community input in targeting support for our students over the next four years. Parents, faculty and staff ...

Juniors, Seniors Participate in Mock DWI:
Today, juniors and seniors participated in a Mock DWI, which simulated what it would be like for them to drive at a .24 BAC level. The simulation also included an option for what distracted driving, such as texting, would be like for them. All students who participated in today's simulation signed a pledge where they agreed to never text and drive. We know our students will keep this simulation and pledge in the back of their minds as they prepare for Prom, Ball, and the rest of their lives.
