A WALK TO REMEMBER
Take a Walk to Remember on Saturday, December 9
Say Farewell to the Old Milton High School building. The old Milton High School near downtown Alpharetta is opening its doors Saturday, December 9, from noon to 4:00PM, giving the community a last stroll down memory lane before the building is prepared for demolition. Current and former Milton students, principals, faculty and community members will come together to commemorate the building's past - and the property's future - in a farewell celebration. The building will be torn down this winter to make way for the new North Fulton STEM high school. Visitors can drop by any time during the four-hour event and visit areas inside and outside of the school. Yearbooks, pictures of former graduating classes and other Milton memorabilia will be on display, and there will be musical performances by alumni, former faculty, and current students. Food trucks also will be on site, making this a fun time for the entire family. While the event is focused on celebrating the past, information about the new STEM high school will be available also.

MILTON THEATRE PRESENTS: CIRQUE MIRAZ!
The year is 1922 and the setting is a sea-side amusement park where not all activity is fun and games. A fortune teller's reveal for one family proves to be more than expected. This new story combines a few familiar favorite acts from past productions, with fresh new acts and will create a tale of misadventure known as CIRQUE MIRAZ! Larry Smtih, Cirque Miraz!'s director says "I think the audience will enjoy revisiting a few of our stand-out acts from previous shows while experiencing some new, equally exciting acts created especially for this production. The cast is getting pumped to show off their skills in this new setting and storyline. Cirque Miraz! would not have developed in the short amount of time we have had without the tremendous work and effort and support of our parent volunteers." Milton's Cirque Shows are unique pieces of theatre, and have proven to be extremely popular with audiences.
CIRQUE MIRAZ! will have a total of
four performances, December 7, 8, 9 @ 7:00PM & December 9 @ 2:00PM.
