Theater Students Rehearse for ANTIGONE
Sophomore Theatre Majors take advantage of the perfect autumn mornings by rehearsing Antigone outdoors in the amphitheater this week.
I am also excited to announce that all school aged students in Pawtucket (under 18) have been approved for FREE LUNCH until December 31st. Nonetheless, it is important that each of our families apply for the free/reduced lunch. Your application (whether or not you qualify) impacts our district funding, therefore, please take a few minutes to apply online at www.myschoolapps.com.
