Learn what it’s like to be a full time missionary, by missionaries traveling to foreign countries, learning their culture, customs & religions. Explore how each religion views concepts such as God, creation, salvation, and morality. We will discuss how Christian principles and values contrast with or relate to those in other faiths.

Depending on time zones we will be interviewing our International partners across the globe.

This class will consist of learning theater and performance skills, building confidence, acting, improv, nonverbal communication, team building, and so much more. We'll also work on rehearsal and performance of a 45-60 minute play at the end of spring term. The play may be a musical, but musical ability/solo singing is NOT required to be cast in a role.

4th Period: Drama Club: Theater Tech Part II (6-12th grade)
with Sarah Bryant
TWO SEMESTER CLASS
Returning students are FREE (payment in the fall covers both)
$5 [new students only] -- make checks payable to Sarah Bryant
Co-teacher: Jackie Westerfeld
This class is offered alongside the Drama Club - Performance class, at the same time and in the same classroom. This is for students who are interested in the backstage aspect of our drama production - set design and construction, sound, costumes, and more. These students will work with the entire drama club to plan and design the performance of our end-of-year play, and even act as understudies for some of our principal characters.
Theater Tech students will also participate in group activities such as warm-up, theater games, and improv exercises, as these things serve to building the feeling of a cohesive team that includes both onstage and backstage students. I would prefer for these students to commit to both Fall and Spring semester if possible, but one semester is acceptable for this class.
Students need to be able to read a script and possible memorize some lines. This class requires full participation in group activities.
4th Period: Journalism (8-12th grade)
with Patricia Chisholm
$10 -- make checks payable to Patricia Chisholm
This class will be a class that teaches journalism basics, with a leaning toward yearbook journalism in preparation to launch a yearbook in the future. If you're interested in journalism but not sure about being a part of yearbook in the future, you're still welcome to take the class. Students need to be prepared to interview people.
4th Period: Study Hall (8-12th grade)
PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING:
There is no instuctor for this class.
Exceptions made for younger students if parent is staying with them.
Please limit one per semester.
We encourage students to register for classes with their peers. If the options available are not interesting to them, then we would suggest a teen helper option where they can earn volunteer hours. We also understand that sometimes students need a little extra time to get their work done, so we do make this time available for them. However, we have rules in place to make sure that study hall is being used the way it is intended.
- Students need to check in with a board member that period and they will be assigned a designated area to study alone.
- Students need to bring a book to read or homework to complete.
- Screens, including phones and laptops, are not permitted in Study Hall. If a laptop is needed for their work, board approval is required.
