Dear Parents:
I am writing regarding the upcoming week of
rehearsals commonly referred to as “Tech Week,”
which is April 6th – 8th. As most of you are aware,
this is an intense 3 days of rehearsals leading up to
opening night requiring the performers and crew to
arrive not long after school lets out and to stay quite
late. To make things easier for them – and you – we
are organizing a series of meals to be served on each
of these three evenings. For this to be a success,
each family will need to contribute at least one
item toward the pre-planned menu. Some of the
items require food preparation (i.e., a tray of
mostacciolli ) while others require a purchase (i.e.,
pop or taco shells).
There are 65 items for sign-up and the menus are broken down in a way to try to
divide things as evenly as possible. Each night there are two sign-up slots for pop
and two slots for bottled water. If you have a particular knack for a certain main
entrée menu item, you may certainly take more than one slot for that item! Note
that we are making an effort to include a vegetarian selection each evening, as this
has been an issue in the past. Please note the requested amounts for each item
and try to comply as closely as possible – having extra is not a problem but falling
short is!
Please look over the attached menu. Because you won’t have any way of knowing if
an item you sign up for might already be selected, we ask that you mark five items
on the attached list; ranking them from first to last according to the preference of
what you’d like to bring. We will do our best to accommodate your requests. Make
your selections and have your student return the menu sheet to Ms. Shollenberger
as soon as possible. Also, please note on the form if you are willing to bring
two items. These forms are very important for this to all work out!
During tech week, the cast and crew will need to be at the school and ready
(includes dress, make-up, and hair) to perform at 5:00p.m. They will practice until
6:00 and then break for dinner. The food will need to be at the school no later than
5:30 p.m. each night.
Mrs. Roller is spearheading this project. Feel free to call Mrs. Roller at (815)6951017, email her at [email protected] or text her at 815-786-4872 (fastest
and preferred contact method) with any questions or if you can volunteer to help
serve and/or clean-up one of the nights.
I hope you will all willingly take part in this worthwhile endeavor!
