 TPCA Musical
We're excited to say that this year's play is not a play at all, but a musical called "Seussical," and it's not going to be small! The music is catchy, the plot twists and turns, the costumes are flashy, and everyone learns how important each person is playing their part in the stories of Seuss, in this musical art!
Students have been signing up for audition times for Monday, December 3, or Tuesday, December 4. They will also be required to participate in a dance audition on Wednesday, December 5 from 3:15-4:15 p.m. Audition materials are provided but need to be picked up from Mrs. Freeman. "Seussical" will be cast and scores and scripts will be handed out before Winter Break. Rehearsals will begin in January on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 3:15-4:30 p.m. The performances will take place on Friday, March 8 at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, March 9 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Freeman at freeman_amy@svvsd.org

- Parents: There will be a series of emails going out to the St. Vrain Valley School District over the next month. We are purposefully including you in these communications. Open enrollment for the district will begin in January, and we need your help! If you know a family who is seeking an encouraging and engaging education for their child, invite them to our enrollment meetings by forwarding the email to them. Special Transitional Meetings will be held for our 5th and 8th graders to answer specific questions for our current community. We want you to get the full benefit of a Twin Peaks K-12 education. Please attend these meetings to further understand the power of our curriculum plan.
- Do you have video of a TPCA event? The Marketing Committee wants it! Please submit a copy by email to KmDeMatteo@comcast.net.

A huge thank you goes out to all those who helped with the Middle School Boys Basketball tournament on Saturday. It was a great day for all of the boys, coaches and their parents. We couldn't have hosted this event without the help of the parents of the TPCA Boys Basketball team. A special thanks goes out to these parents: David Abernathy, Doug Robison, Lindsey Ginesi, Lisa Fetters, Alejandra Halmark, and Diane Harlan for their help with concessions and admissions. We also wanted to recognize the students who helped with the clock and score books: Seth Chestnut, Noah Sanders, Kela Fetters, Brianna Robison, Kelsey Robison, Bri Halmark and Jessica Parkinson. Thanks for all of your help!!! |
