Morse High School One-Act

In today’s the Forecaster newspaper there is an article called VHS makes bold return in Bath school’s 1-act play. It is a great review of the student play written by senior Sophie Mayo which will be performed in March called “Str8-2-Vid3o” (pronounced “Straight to Video”). Sophie has been involved with the 1-acts all four years of high school. Nine schools will compete on Friday, March 9 and Saturday, March 10. Sounds like this funny play will be one that you just might want to travel Morse High School in Bath to see.

• ASCD SmartBrief includes the launch of Smithsonian Quests from Smithsonian Center for Education and Museum Studies. I suggest you check it out, looks very interesting.
• Using Fotoapp on ipads grade 3 students used 6 words to describe themselves that were incorporated into their self-portraits. You can see the artwork by clicking here.

• On this vimeo you will find student illustrated idioms. Please click here.
