We are excited to announce the upcoming production of "Among Friends and Clutter," a one-act seriocomedy by Lindsay Price. This play is made up of seven lives. Each of the scenes are fragments of those lives. The characters begin in 2nd grade and we see different times throughout their lives as the show progresses. Garretson will prepare and perform "Among Friends and Clutter" at the Region 2A One-Act competition on January 28th, 2025. If you are interested in being a part of this show, please plan to attend the audition meeting on December 5th at 7:00AM in the Band Room. At the meeting you will be able to share your interest and audition for a speaking/acting role. Auditions and participation are open to all 7th-12th grade students. This play has many opportunities for acting and non-acting roles. If you are interested in being a part of the crew (lights/sound/stage management) please attend the meeting on December 5th. Please email Mrs. Erika Brown or Mrs. Kim Macziewski so we can plan on you for auditions/involvement.

It's Wednesday! Remember to top off your tank at Palisades oil to FUEL THE DRAGON!
This week's educator spotlight is Mr. Nick Sittig. We are proud of our band. Mr. Sittig and the students consistently put together a musical product that makes us proud! From consistently placing the top of our division at marching band contests in the fall to rocking the house at our Christmas Concert, this group can be counted on to sound great! We thank Mr. Sittig for his commitment to our students and their musical growth!
