KHS Theater Presents Into the Woods

This spring, April 18-20, the Kings High School Thea-

ter Department will present Stephen Sondheim’s

famous musical Into the Woods. Shows start at 7 p.m.

in the auditorium. Tickets are $10 for adults, or $8 for

students and senior citizens.

When a Baker and his wife learn they’ve been cursed

with childlessness by the Witch next door, they em-

bark on a quest for the special objects required to

break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from

Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel, and Jack (the one

who climbed the beanstalk). Everyone’s wish is

granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences

of their actions return to haunt them later, with dis-

astrous results.

The South Lebanon Elementary ECLUB will be spending Earth Day at Saw-

yer Point this Saturday as they receive the Greater Cincinnati Earth Coalition

Student Environmental Award! This week, the students enjoyed an experi-

ment with Joy Landry from the Southwest Air Quality Agency.

Technology in Use at Kings

Students in Sheridan Pagan’s Second Grade class at SLE are putting technology to use in the classroom. The Technology De-

partment at Kings has initiated a pilot program using Apple ipads and Google Chrome Books in the classroom. Kings Technolo-

gy Committee members have been given 2 ipads and a Chrome Book to utilize in their classrooms.

Emma Baker uses the ipad to research her state report about Colorado. Andrew Stringer is using the ipad to practice math facts and fluency in

Mrs. Pagan’s class.

Dear Parent, The score of the big game. The name of the girl in their English class. The clothes and hairstyles. Those are just a few of the details your student will want to remember about this school year. Help your student keep those memories sharp by buying a 2012-13 Kings High School Yearbook. For only $75 your student will have a book that will be enjoyed now, and 20, 30 or even 50 years from now. You also can make the yearbook extra special by purchasing namestamping and a protective plastic cover. It’s easy to order! Buy online at www.yearbookforever.com and enter the school name. Parents of seniors will also have the opportunity to buy a personal ad in the book. Imag-ine your son or daughter’s surprise when they open the yearbook and see their own baby photo and special message from you. Or honor the seniors of that special team, sport, or activity with a photo and message they will never forget. The last day to buy a Yearbook is April 26. Order now, so your student won’t miss out when the yearbook is distributed in the Fall of 2013. Seniors who have graduated have their books mailed home to the official address on record at Kings. As an adult, you know how important high school memories become. Don’t let your stu-dent’s memories fade; make sure they get a yearbook now! Sincerely, Kelly Shields Yearbook Adviser Kings High School
