The Wizard of Oz is a beautiful musical based on the classic movie by L. Frank Baum, adapted for the stage by John Kane for the Royal Shakespeare Company. Come on out to celebrate the hard work of both Horizon Honors Elementary and Secondary School students as they tell this magical story. The musical explores the journey of Dorothy Gale and her dog, Toto, as she is swept away by a tornado that takes her to the fantastical land of Oz. While there she meets Glinda the Good Witch, the Munchkins, and her new best friends, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Lion. Together they face down the Wicked Witch of the West in order to get what each of them needs from the mighty Wizard of Oz. Ultimately they learn that they were complete all along and that there is truly no place like home. This enduring musical is a story of friendship, family, and understanding the character each of us possesses to use to help one another.

College, Career, & Life Day |
|
This week, Horizon Honors seniors had an opportunity to engage in an experiential learning day geared toward College, Career, and Life. Students wrote resumes, participated in an interview skills workshop complete with mock interviews, and had a choice between sessions on guided meditation for mental health, yoga for mental health, or basic car maintenance. Capping off the day, the seniors joined the sophomore and junior classes and Officer Martin for a session called Survive the Drive where Officer Martin shared about the dangers of distracted driving and invited students to take the Thumb Wars Pledge to not use their cell phones while driving. The day was filled with hands-on opportunities grounded in practical skills to help students prepare for their next steps beyond Horizon Honors. |
