Subject: BOE has tough job

Reading the list of cuts the BOE will have to make this year is tough.  Please remember it’s tougher for them. We have all had to make changes to our lifestyles and do without, some more than others and that is not different with CCS. Jobs will be lost and that’s a hard choice these board members will make.

Subject: Northwood Bets on Guys & Dolls for Spring Musical

Will Nathan Detroit find a place for “The Oldest Established Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York” before Big Jule arrives? Will Miss Adelaide finally get Nathan to the alter after 14 years?  Will Sky get that Mission Doll Sgt. Sarah Brown to fly to Havana for DINNER? And most importantly, which is more popular—Mindy’s Cheesecake or Mindy’s Strudel?

The answers to these and other completely inconsequential questions will all be revealed when the Northwood Arts Education Department presents the 1950 Broadway classic, Guys & Dolls, March 25-27 at 7pm in Northwood’s Benjamin J. Lee Auditorium.

Subject: SSM-JAM

We would like to thank everyone for their support with the SSM-JAM (Sharpe Store Music – Junior Appalachian Education Program), we have many excited kids and teachers.  We do have a need for some instruments for loaners for some of our students.  If you have a guitar, banjo, or fiddle gathering dust, or maybe you have too many of them we would love to have you donate the instrument to the SSM-JAM it would be a tax deductible contribution.  You can also donate monetary gifts – for more information you can call Denise Dunn at 919-548-3458 or 919-548-9477.

Subject: Summer tours to Provence in June

Want to spend 2 weeks in Provence, France, this summer? We are two moms of juniors at Woods Charter School and are running two concurrent small group tours in France in June (6/19-7/3), one for teens of high school age and one for women. Accommodation, in shared, twin rooms, is in a fabulous 17th century manor house and separate guest house, with a
pool, close to the charming village of Gordes. Each tour will have separate accommodation, transportation and itinerary. We are not a tour company, just two moms who love France.
