Tickets for the Depaul Children’s Theatre production of “ALICE IN WONDERLAND” are availbale for 12 February 2009 at 10:00 am.  The tickets are a bargain at $5.70.  That’s right, for less than a value meal you can enjoy LIVE THEATRE!    One adult and one child can see live theatre with live music in a completely redone professional theatre (this used to be the world famous Blackstone theatre l) for $11.40 total.  Cheaper than a movie!

The show runs approximately 60 minutes and is recommended for ages 4 –7.  To find out more about the show, see www. theatreschool.depaul.edu.

In order to get the discount price, we have to buy as a group.  If you are interested in going, please contact Alyse Goodwin at (773) 531-225 or e-mail at .  Ticket requests are due by 2 February 2009 and the money is due by 5 February 2009.  Cash only please.   

 We will be meeting at the Depaul’s Merle Reskin Theatre,  which is located at 60 E. Balbo — near both public transporation and public parking.  Tickets will be distributed on 11 February 2009 or at the theatre, depending on the box office  policy.

All Drummond students, parents, families, siblings and friends are welcome to participate in this non-school sponsored event.  Come and spend a day off at the theatre!  The more the merrier!

The Drummond After School Committee needs your help in implementing a new and exciting afterschool enrichment program for all Drummond Students!
Get Involved: Classes to be held after school which encompass a wide range of interests! Some of our thoughts include cooking, photography, dance, business, juggling, foreign language, painting, poetry, debate, movies, origami, music, sports, you name it! We are open to all suggestions so please make them.

When: Classes will be held after school, but the amount of time you will contribute is up to you! You can teach one class or five. You will decide how long the class will be and how often. The ideas will be yours and the aftershool committee will both fund and help implement them.

WHY: Because WE ALL have something to SHARE. Because Drummond is an amazing community that is CONSTANTLY GROWING.  Because…. we want our students to see ALL OF THE POSSIBILITIES open to them!
Please join as at our next meeting on Thursday, January 29th at 6:00 pm….Bucktown Library meeting room located at 1701 N. Milwaukee Avenue, 60647.
