Starting at the end of the month, there will be a prize for the student in each grade level who has received the most Lead Tickets.

Reminder to all members of the Drowsy Chaperone cast: Everyone will need to attend rehearsals from Monday through Wednesday this week, as well as the build day on Saturday, January 17.
