The play will be running through Saturday, Jan. 28, at 7pm plus there will be a Saturday matinee at 2pm. Sunee Foley, RUHS Drama teacher, is the author of this original production about the ups and downs of daily high school life. Ticket prices are $8 for general admission, but only $6 for students with ASB stickers, senior citizens, and children. Advance discount tickets can be purchased in the Drama Room, from any drama student, or in Room 202. o Tickets for Winter Fantasy Formal Dance Go On Sale Feb. 6 The Winter Fantasy Formal Dance will be held at the Marina Del Rey Yacht Club on Saturday, Feb. 25. Tickets go on sale Monday, Feb. 6, for $40 if you have an ASB sticker and $45 otherwise. (Get your tickets right away, because prices will go up as the dance date gets closer. This dance is sponsored by the Dance Guard and promises to be extra special this year in a new, VERY nice venue and with dinner included. As a little background to those newer to the school: - This dance is open to all ages (unlike the prom that is only open to Juniors and Seniors) so it gives everyone the opportunity to get a little dressed up - The girls usually wear formals or nice dresses - The boys vary a little more with a few in tuxes, a few in suits, and many in nice pants and shirts. No jeans! - You do NOT need a date for this dance. Many kids just come with friends. Don't forget that if you are on the NO GO list, which will be updated at the start of the new semester, you CANNOT attend events like this. Get your unserved detentions, unpaid fees, etc. straightened out NOW, so that you don't miss out. o Do We Need Another Bond? Meeting on Thursday to Discuss A meeting to explore the future modernization of the Redondo Beach public schools will be hosted by the Redondo Beach Council PTA this Thursday, Jan. 26, at 5pm at the District office on 1401 Inglewood Blvd. They hope to get representation from many groups including high school parents. The topics to be covered include: - Information about unfulfilled modernization plans and needs that exceed the current resources - Identifying space needs of various sectors of the school community (PTA, student support services, special education, ELL, music, etc.) - Exploring the potential of seeking another bond - Information about the process for a bond, what it takes and the time frames relative to upcoming elections Contact Genie Lewis at 386-0732 or eugenie.lewis@verizon.net for more details or to let her know that you plan to attend. o Seniors: Reminders from the Career Center - Senior info meetings for scholarships held every Wednesday at lunch in Career Center - Updated list of scholarships available in Career Center and http://www.geocities.com/ruhs_email/current_scholarships.doc - Even if you didn't finish your scholarship folder, there are still scholarship opportunities.
