FREE Musical "Mirror Image" shows Monday, November 19th at
7 p.m. at Nampa Civic Center

What happens when the line between fairy tales and reality gets crossed? Does an incidental character without a name really have any importance in the stories we know and love? Is belief in something better a fairy tale? These are the questions in the VCS musical theatre's class production of "Mirror Image." Come join us for an evening of fun, laughs, singing, and dancing as the students answer these and many other questions. The production begins at 7:00p.m. at the Nampa Civic Center and is free. A basket accepting donations will be available in the lobby for any wanting to help the class prepare for their spring musical, which will be announced Monday night. We look forward to seeing you there!


ROBOTICS EARLY THANKSGIVING BAKE SALE:

November 19th and 20th the HS Robotics Club will be having a BAKE SALE during middle and high school lunch recesses only! $$ raised will go towards helping the kids pay for expenses associated with competition. The goodies are Thanksgiving themed -- Pumpkin-Swirl Brownies, Pumpkin Dream Cake, Pumpkin Pie and Cream Cheese pastries, just to name a few.  Goodies will mostly be between .50 and $1.00 (I know you are all rushing to check in-between the sofa cushions now....).  Happy Early Thanksgiving! 

 

CWI TOUR

Juniors and Seniors at Vision Charter are invited to join us at CWI's Nampa Campus Micron Center for Professional Technical Education (5725 E. Franklin Rd Nampa, ID 83687) on Wednesday Nov. 28, 2012 at 2:30pm (promptly after early release). We have scheduled to meet with a representative of College of Western Idaho and take a tour of their new Micron Center. Students will be able to ask questions and get information regarding college preparation. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the center.
