Annie Jr.— Our LES grade school students are working
hard on a wonderful version of the Broadway musical
Annie. The performance dates are April 23 and 24.
Since this performance is funded nearly completely outside
the budget, we could use some help. First of all, we
are looking for some set items. We're looking for a Depression
style apple seller cart (could be a square
wooden wheelbarrow), an older plain wooden desk and
a more ornate wooden desk, a 1940s telephone, and an
older looking park bench. Also, if anyone would have a
lead on a red Annie dress, that would be greatly appreciated.
Finally, if you are willing to help sponsor the performances
with a financial gift, please drop that off or
send it in to the school office. Thank you!
