Dear Parents & Guardians,

Please find the weekly email below.

Student Leadership Update

Helping Hampers officially kicked off on Monday December 2 and will run until Friday December 13. This is one of Scarlett’s largest and most important fundraisers. This year all donated money will be put towards building hampers of essential house-hold items, gifts, and gifts cards for 9 families in need, right in our school community. Students can donate in their Period 1 classes. With every $2 donated, students will be eligible to win some awesome prizes, including the grand prize of a $100 Amazon Gift Card. Let’s rally to ensure these families have what they need over the winter months. Thank you for your support.

• We are unable to process changes based on teacher, period, peer or spare preferences.
• All schedules are subject to change up until the first day of classes. As such, the teacher assigned may change as class balancing and teaching assignments change.

Drama Update

33 Neo-Futurist Plays from Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind 
(33 Plays in 66 Minutes) by Greg Allen  December 4, 5 | 9, 11, 12 at 7:00pm

A rapid-fire theatrical experience where thirty short plays are performed in just sixty-six minutes. Each play is a new experience, exploring humour, heartbreak, and everything in between. The audience has a role in determining each show’s order, so every performance is unique.

Tickets for this year’s production of 33 Neo-Futurist Plays in 66 Minutes from Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind are Pay-What-You-Can (cash only) at the door on the night of the performance. You can pay whatever cash you’ve brought with you to donate to the theatre program at Scarlett. Pay $9 + the roll of a 6 sided die. That’s 10 to 15 dollars depending on your luck! The drama department officially guarantees that you will have a seat reserved SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU for this and every performance. This show has some swear words and is probably not appropriate for young children.
