PALC (8/8 - 8/22)
Hey Vikings! Have you ever -wait- *snaps, cut to auditorium* wanted to express yourself on stage? Maybe you’ve always possessed a flair for the Shakespearean, and you can understand that all the world’s a stage, its men and women merely players? Do you have another performative venture you’ve wanted to try, like writing your own play? Do you like singing and/or dancing? Perhaps, you even would like to try screaming at people? Maybe, you don’t actually want to be on the stage, and you’d rather learn how to operate a spotlight, or make sets and props! If any of these are true of you, even if another isn’t, you should try out for PALC! Forms are available from the Auditorium starting the 8th, and they are due by the 22nd. I really can’t stress enough how you don’t have to like all of these, please just talk to Ms. Nakamura, we need people! So many seniors left last year, thanks!
Here is today’s Menu:
For Wiki: Portuguese Sausage & Rice, Fresh Fruit, and Blueberry Apple Crunch
For Lunch: Chicken Adobo, Steamed Rice, Steamed Broccoli/Corn, and POG Slushie
