Upcoming District/Community Events
SVMS Presents The Enchanted Bookshop
SVMS proudly presents The Enchanted Bookshop September 28 and 29 at 7 p.m. Tickets may be purchased by clicking here . This enchanting show is a great way to introduce kids to beloved classical storybook characters.

During the day, A Likely Story may look like any other used bookstore. But at night, it’s a place where magic happens. That’s when the characters inside the books come alive. Six of those characters — Dorothy Gale, Robin Hood, Pollyanna, Sherlock Holmes, Heidi, and Tom Sawyer — long to help Margie, the scatterbrained owner, save her struggling store. But they’re not allowed to leave the building or be seen by human eyes. So when a pair of smugglers come looking for a stolen necklace hidden inside one of the books, the characters are torn. Should they warn Margie and risk disappearing forever? Or can they find a way to defeat the crooks without being seen? 
LMS Presents A Seussified Pride and Prejudice
Liberty Middle School proudly presents A Seussified Pride and Prejudice production on October 12 & 13 at 7 p.m. Tickets may be purchased by clicking here .

The greatest romance in all of English literature gets a wacky, rhyming makeover. The Bennet girls have a chance to meet well-to-do gents at the Ding-A-Ling Prance Dance, but there might be some relatives in the way before they can ride off into the sunset on Honk Jingle Horses. This whimsical retelling is something Dr. Seuss might have come up with if he had his way with the time-tested Jane Austen classic.
