DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER
This week we will continue to commemorate veteran’s
week. It is a time for us to reflect on the value of peace and to remember
those who are in the service of protecting us. Today we are going to focus on
those who serve to protect us in our community. Through their dedication, we
can enjoy freedom and security.
Thank You for those who serve to protect us
in our community and in our country.
You taught us to treat others gently
and with respect and kindness.
Help us make this world a peaceful place.
Please bless and protect those who serve us
in our community and country.
We ask this in the name of Jesus,

UPSTAGE PRODUCTIONS: “Radium Girls”
* Grade 9 students will be attending morning performances on Wednesday and Thursday.** Grade 10 - 12 students may go to the main office to get a FREE stamped BLUE ticket for an evening performance. (Office staff will create a list of the students who get a FREE ticket.)
In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Her chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man who cannot bring himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumors could have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his employees. As the case goes on, however, Grace finds herself battling not just with the U.S. Radium Corporation, but with her own family and friends, who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire. Written with warmth and humor, Radium Girls is a fast-moving, highly theatrical ensemble piece for 9 to 10 actors, who play more than 30 parts—friends, co-workers, lovers, relatives, attorneys, scientists, consumer advocates, and myriad interested bystanders. Called a "powerful" and "engrossing" drama by critics, Radium Girls offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.
