Children's Show Takes the Stage
Free performances for schools and community.
The
2017-18 drama season continues with
The Phantom Tollbooth, a children's play
by Susan Nanus and based on the book by Norton Juster.

Milo is a bored kid until he is invited into adventure in the Land of Wisdom. There, along with Tock, his dog and sidekick, he is forced to think about many new things including rescuing the Princesses of Rhyme and Reason from the Land of Ignorance. The knowledge and skills Milo gains on his journey not only help him save the princesses, but make him realize his attitude toward learning will never be the same.
The leading characters are Milo performed by Owen Bigler (9); Tock by Abby Manning (9); Humbug by Jillian McAuliffe (9); Princess Rhyme by Linda Presta (10); and Princess Reason by Anishi Patel (10). Break a leg!

1:1 Chromebook Initiative
Survey seeks input from East Campus parents.
The Lake Park High School 1:1 instructional technology initiative is now in its second year of implementation. All incoming freshmen received a Chromebook, a laptop-like computing device, to support and enhance their educational experience. All students taking classes at East Campus now have a device.
As part of the district's continuous improvement efforts, Lake Park is interested in hearing again from parents/guardians of the Class of 2020 and 2021 how the Chromebook program is working for your student. Please take this
brief survey to provide feedback that will contribute to recommendations and modifications of the program.
Additionally, to promote greater communication about support programs that are available for Chromebooks at Lake Park, a
1:1 Family Updates Website has been created. Visit the site to learn more about the specific programming available as Lake Park grows together as a learning community.
