Get your tickets for The End of the World (With Prom to Follow), written by Sean Abley, a contemporary play co-directed by SLVHS seniors Jacqueline Lopez and Shimona Miller. The play is set in Great Falls, Montana. The students of Charles M. Russell High School awake to find no parents, no siblings, no teachers. Everyone but the student body has vanished. It might sound like a dream to some high schoolers, but for these teenagers it is the stuff of reality. There is a Wall of Light encircling their town that is progressively moving inward and their town is steadily disappearing. In the face of this mystery, the students band together...and splinter apart. What can they do to stop it? What's on the other side? Will there still be time for one last dance? An exciting drama/comedy, this play explores mortality, friendship, and the survival of ethics when survival itself is at stake. Performances are at the SLV Performing Arts Center (PAC).

You Can Be Part of Congresswoman Anna Eshoo's Student Advisory Board

This is a great program that many SLVHS students have been part of in past years. Our students have had their proposals taken by Congresswoman Eshoo to the floor of the United States Congress. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to be the change you wish to see.  And it looks great on your college applications!!  Details are below.

SLV High School Students are invited to apply for Congresswoman Anna Eshoo’s 18^th Congressional District Student Advisory Board (SAB). This program is open to all students in 9^th through 12^th grade who live in, or attend school in Congresswoman Eshoo’s district. The program will be virtual, like last year, unless students are overwhelmingly comfortable with meeting in person. The application deadline is Friday, October 22^nd at 5:00 pm, although we will give a couple days’ extension if something comes up for a student.

The Student Advisory Board is for high school students who are passionate about public service and interested in learning about the legislative process in Congress. Students will be asked to choose a policy area and break up into committees that will focus on specific aspects of chosen policy. Students will then present their policy recommendations to Congresswoman Eshoo. In previous years, Congresswoman Eshoo has introduced excellent policy recommendations to Congress as a result of Student Advisory Board suggestions. You and your students can learn more at https://eshoo.house.gov/services/internships/student-advisory-board.

We would appreciate your help in passing on the news to your students about this opportunity, and in reminding them that the application deadline will be Friday, October 22^nd. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at [email protected], or give me a call at (202) 768-0201.
