Miss Dabrowski has just printed off more Italy trip packages, because you're all as excited about pasta and the Pope as she is. If you need a package, swing by her classroom or find her in room 2010 during third period, yes, she’ll be there buried under a mountain of Rome-themed paperwork. And if you're still undecided, there will be an info session on Monday, May 26th for all interested students, don’t miss it unless you're okay with staying home while your friends reenact scenes from The Lizzie McGuire Movie in real life.

This is a hard deadline: no ifs, ands, or loaves and fishes, because the theatre needs to know how many of you are coming so they can roll out the red carpet, or at least warm up the popcorn. Don’t miss your chance to see the greatest story ever told… on the big screen!
