Hey all! How's everyone doing? As you all know, at least I would hope you know, that state is around the corner. It's less than a month away. You may be asking, "What does this mean Tess?" Well, young padawans, let me tell you. First, if you are doing an I.E. the mandatory lunch performance's for the officers are coming up (a list of orders will be posted this week). So be prepared! If your not, we can/will withdraw your I.E. from state. Secondly, your pink forms permitting you to walk in groups of 2 at state ,instead of 3, was due last week! As a troupe, we can only do this if we have a singed slip from EVERYONE! So, get that done. Trust me, you won't regret it. 
Finally, the officers will have a jug or bag to collect money for Broadway Cares Equity FIghts Aids this week and next. Remember at state how the SSO's are always asking for your loose change to donate to BCEFA? Well, that is what we will be doing. Annnnnd, if we raise more than $100 Jay Seller will recognize our school for it! YAY! So, you all are probably wondering what this money is actually going towards. Don't worry my friends, I'll fill you in. Their mission is:  
There! Now you know what your money is going towards. It's a really great cause. Any loose change you guys have, or your friends have, take it, and put it in the jug in the front office by Ms. Sackers desk or give it to the officers. We will gladly take it at anytime of day. So...... that starbucks you were debating about buying today.....next time give the money to Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS!
