Daily Announcements 

  • Whooooooo lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob Square Pants! This year's musical at Central is SpongeBob the Musical which won a ton of Tony awards in 2018 and has original music written by John Legend, Sara Bareilles, Panic at the Disco and more. Auditions are coming up in a few weeks, so we're having an info meeting to explain the audition process and help everyone learn about how to do our easy and low-pressure auditions! No experience is necessary! All grades are welcome! Come have a party under the sea with us Wednesday, Jan. 26 at 3:15 in the auditorium. Visit hinsdaledrama.com for more info or see Mrs. Jaffe in room 250. Are ya ready kids? Okay!

  • Are you confused on how you can get rid of your mask sustainably? Did you know that not cutting the ear loops off your mask can harm wildlife and the environment? You can't traditionally recycle masks, but when thrown in landfills or littered, masks release microplastics that pollute our community's air and water. This week, Ecology Club is sponsoring a mask drive with Sustainable Health to collect used N95 and Surgical Masks. Snap their straps and drop your masks in the bin in the main office and they will be sent to a special recycling center for disposal. Text Remind 81010 @shvoluntee to join the effort and learn more!

  • The club, Strong Minds Bring Change, visits our sophomore Health classes each semester to talk about breaking the stigma of mental illness and how to help a friend that may be struggling. We are looking for additional student leaders to join us as a panelist during these presentations on Tuesday, February 8th. We will hold a training at the next SMBC club meeting in the upper Cafeteria at 3:05pm on Wednesday, January 26th. This is a great opportunity for those interested in going into education, healthcare, or the field of mental health. Hope to see you there!

  • Variety Show auditions are being held this week! If you would like to perform in the variety show, please sign up for an audition time outside of room 229. We hope to see you at the audition.

  • Attention Seniors! Do you speak another language at home? Are you taking a level 4, 5H, or AP World Language Class?
