BASH AUCTION DINNER
April 29th @ 5.30-10pm,
The annual
BASH
dinner and auction event brings our families and community together to help raise critical funds that allow us to help cultivate an excellent educational environment for all Ballard High Students. The
BASH
is the largest contributor to the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) Teacher Grant Process, which funds staff requests for needs not supported in the district budget.

OPENING MAY 11th!! THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
by Oscar Wilde
Come enjoy Oscar Wilde's best comedy which pokes fun at Victorian-era social norms. Misunderstandings and mistaken identity wreak havoc on our young characters who are in pursuit of true love. Cleverly written with more than a bit of irreverence.
"In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity, is the vital thing." Gwendolen
