Get Pumped!

I hope you all are super stoked for the new school year! I know I am. There is a lot planned, and some things you should know.

First things first: CLUB RUSH WEEK!!
It's the second week of school, so be ready! That is the 29th of August through the 2nd of September. We have planned dress up days to for those who want to be in drama club, or just anyone who wants to have fun!
Monday the 29th: Westlake shirt day
Tuesday: Cape day (it doesn't have to be a real cape. it can be a blanket or sheet or whatever you have!)
Wednesday: Crazy Sock Day
Thursday: Ugly sweater/vest/sweater-vest day
Friday: Plaid day


We will have a booth set up during lunch with some information and such for drama club.

Just so you know, fall show auditions for Merry Wives of Windsor are coming up fast! They are September 6th-9th. there will be reminders when you get to school, so don't you worry.

drama club fee this year is 12 dollars! and it DOES come with a shirt, and due to that fact, if you want your shirt by the first order, you need to pay drama club fees by OCTOBER 15. there will be other orders later in the year, but if you want them all year, you need to pay by the 15th.

We are planning an opening social for the 2nd of September. be ready, we will update you on that during club rush week.

Alright, that is a lot of info! mark your calenders of important dates! live up the rest of your summer and we will see you at school!
