Thanksgiving Food Drive Success!
Congratulations to everyone who participated in the Thanksgiving Food Drive! The first hours with the most donations were Mr. Jaeger, Ms. Weyhmiller, and Mr. Detter's classes in first second and third places respectively. All of the items collected were delivered to the Holland Rescue Mission. They used these items to put together care packages that were passed out on Wednesday at the Mission's Thanksgiving meal. Thank you for making a difference.

"Working" is coming!
Based on the best-selling book of interviews with American workers by Studs Terkel, Working explores the American workday from the Monday morning blues to the second shift blahs using the original words of some uncommon common men and women. Twenty-six workers, including a parking lot attendant, corporate executive, newsboy, schoolteacher, gas man, housewife, fireman, waitress, mill worker, sailor, etc., sing and talk about their jobs, defining not only their daily round, but their hopes and aspirations as well.
From the book by STUDS TERKEL. Adapted by STEPHEN SCHWARTZ and NINA FASO Songs by: CRAIG CARNELIA, MICKI GRANT, MARY RODGERS and SUSAN BIRKENHEAD, STEPHEN SCHWARTZ and JAMES TAYLOR.
