TEACHER APPRECIATION LUNCHES 
Volunteers Needed to Contribute Entrees For
The Upcoming November 7th Lunch
WE NEED YOUR HELP!   
To show our appreciation to our wonderful BASIS teachers, the Boosters has a monthly lunch for teachers and staff, complete with beverages and dessert.  It's a feast that they enjoy and, most importantly, that makes them feel loved. The teachers really look forward to their monthly lunches and your creativity in the kitchen!  We are looking for volunteers to bring food and drinks to any or all of the teacher lunches currently scheduled. If you would like to contribute your culinary talents, please sign up by clicking the link below.  We will serve our next Teacher Appreciation Lunch on Friday, November 7th.  We need a few more volunteers to provide an entree. The theme of the November luncheon is "Pasta Bar," and you can bring anything that fits this theme.  Thank you in advance for your help!  CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP.  If you have questions, please contact Kim Frankel (kfrankel2@cox.net) or Julie Fishbach (fishbach@cox.net).

UPPER SCHOOL DRAMA PRESENTS
THE CRUCIBLE
by Arthur Miller

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH

7:00-10:00 pm

PLAYHOUSE ON THE PARK

(1850 N. Central Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85004)

$10 tickets available on SMART for Charter 

The Upper School Drama class tackles Arthur Miller's 1953 drama, 
The Crucible.  Born from the Red Scare, Miller's play takes the leading players from the 1692 Salem witch trials  and fictionalizes their motivations for such terror.   Miller suggests that young Abigail Williams led a wicked plot to unravel the married farmer, John Proctor, who spurned her heart.  This community is torn apart by lies, persecution, and sheer malice.  Miller's play brings the school community the tried and true message:  Stand up for what you believe in, even when the whole world is at your back.

Mature Language and Material.  Parental Discretion Advised.

DONATIONS NEEDED 

As we approach cold and flu season, we would like to help our school stock up on kleenex and Lysol wipes. We are asking our families to donate these items by dropping them off in the school lobby.  Thank you!


THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
