We will be continuing the great tradition of The Graduation Keynote Address Competition that was kicked off in 2014 by the first winner, Christopher Bird. All students interested in being the voice of the class of 2019 are encouraged to audition. We are looking for creativity, character, and charisma.
Here are some of the details:
· Speeches must remain within a 5-minute timeframe.
· Feel free to be creative and think of this as a spoken word poem or performance. (Can you be innovative and devise a spoken word for two voices? Yes, that means you may have a partner.)
· An electronic copy of the speech must be emailed to Ms. Williams by March 8th or the student will be disqualified.
· Seniors must email Ms. Williams, from February 25 to March 7, to schedule a specific audition time.
· All auditions will occur on March 12th while the juniors take the ACT and seniors have a potential day of service.
Anyone interested should come pick up an information packet in room 352 before school, after school, or during Red 1. Be sure to leave your name and an email address with Ms. Williams so she can contact you in the future.
Parents: Please consider helping The Crimson Mission (non-profit 501(c) organization) help Manual. The Crimson Mission needs auction items for this year’s annual March gala event. Some donation ideas are gift cards (restaurant services, shopping, airline, Uber and gas cards); adult beverages (craft beer, wine and bourbon) and entertainment events (Derby tickets, concerts, plays, sports, museum visits, glass blowing and paint & sip.) All proceeds from the auction will be used to benefit Manual, via the Crimson Mission. For auction donation communication, please contact Kelly Hanson at tkhanson1998@gmail.com. Thank you for your support!
Lost and Found items will be put out during lunches each Friday and items not picked up by the end of the day will be donated. If your student is missing any items, please have them look for their items outside of the cafeterias before 2:30 p.m. each Friday.
Attention Senior Parents: If your Senior has still not picked up their Senior photos, please send them to see Ms. Mattingly in Room 251 before school, after school or during Red 3 or White 3.
