Backstory

We are doing Annie and I assigned everyone to write the backstory of their character.  Where were they born?  What makes them tick?  I hope to publish all of them on a bulletin board and put a few in the Playbill.

Kate came to the orphanage when she was four years old. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, had been higher middle class, and had died from the flu. Since Kate had no other family besides her baby sister, social services had no choice but to put Kate in Ms. Hannigan's home and her sister Carrie in a different home for younger children. Kate wants to be a journalist when she gets older, as well as be adopted and reunite with her sister. She also wants to live in the countryside.

Band

We have a few new additions to the SHS Band.  We added two flute players, a sax, trombone, percussion, and two clarinets.  We also have a beginner trumpet.


I was happy with our first day reading.  Now, we have a long way to go, but we READ the music.  We played the tune.
