OPTIONAL ASSIGNMENT!!! - NOVEMBER 30-DECEMBER 3 - The drama lab production of "CHEMICAL BONDING" (in TMH) is available for bonus credit. Tickets are available in the student store in the second building. Hurry because tickets do sell out quickly.
If you attend the play, print your name clearly on the back of your ticket and include the names of each teacher offering you bonus credit and the period you have them (such as DeLay - 3). Give your ticket to Mr. Masters when he collects them during the production (it may be at the end) and he will compile a list of all who attended or participated. I will award any student on that list 5 points of bonus credit in your Exam category.
