The Wizard of OZ Sunday November 22 at 2pm Cost: $10 per person (child or adult) Entrenched in America's cultural psyche for more than three-quarters of a century, MGM's classic fairytale of jewel-toned fantasy lands and homes rediscovered resulted from a nearly disastrous production and barely broke even upon its initial release, but soon became one of the most-watched films in movie history. And with its breathtaking feats of Technicolor and a star-making performance by Judy Garland (not to mention the adorable antics of Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, and Bert Lahr), it's easy to see why.Please RSVP at Everyonesinvitedbcpa@gmail.com with the subject line: Wizard of OZ

Side by Side Activities
Side-By-Side (SbS) is a PA committee which coordinates parent-initiated activities that engage adults and kids outside of our school community to effect positive social change.

A special shout out to Susan Marcinek, Michele Welcome Baptiste, Kim Bourne and the other parent and student volunteers that lent a hand.
