Seussical

Hey, just wanted to let you know the dates for the musical here that Katelyn is in...sorry I forgot to put the dates on the last post.  The play will be November 6-8 and November 13-15.  Check the earlier post for a few more details or if anyone wants to come and see call us we'd love to see you:)

Sarah, Plain and Tall - November 20 & 21

We have actors and actresses in the family! (The drama queens are putting their skills to good use.) I went to post information on the blog about the play since some of you asked details and saw that Katelyn is busy with play practice also. The below was in the school news so I was just going to paste that for information.

Come see the classic and heartwarming story of Sarah, Plain and Tall come to life on stage. The story is set on a farm in Kansas during the early 1900’s, where widower, Jacob Witting, is trying to raise his two kids. With the urging of a friend, Jacob places an ad for a wifeand mother for his two children in a number of newspapers across the country. The result is a reply from a young, headstrong woman in

Maine, Sarah Wheaton. The story unravels as Sarah endures her one month stay with the Witting family. During the course of her stay, Sarah both challenges and teaches the Witting family in many ways, while learning of few lessons of her own. When the month finally comes to a close, Sarah and the Witting family must make an important decision. Find out more and share in the touching tale of

Sarah, Plain and Tall on November 20 and 21 at 7:00 p.m. in the PCGS gymnasium. The play is based on the classic children’s book by Patricia MacLachlan and has been adapted for the stage by Joseph Robinette.

Note: Hannah, Jonathan and Jennifer have parts in this play. Hannah is Sarah in Act II, Jonathan is Judson, and Jennifer is Hester.

Pues, volleyball is done for another year, and we have a little time off of after school activities until basketball starts......although Katelyn still has play practice most nights from 7:oo to 9:30.  The school play they are doing this year is called "Seussical".  It's musical based on Dr. Seuss' stories, primarily "Horton, Hears a Who" and "Horton sits on an Egg".  There is a lot of singing (imagine that :) and Katelyn plays the part of a bird girl.  We are hoping the cast stays well or those who have picked up the flu or H1N1 going around will be well the first two weekends in November!!  We heard today that 19% of the school district was home sick with something......there are confirmed cases of H1N1 in every school.  If we hit the 20% mark the schools will be closed for a week.  

Next weekend (Oct 31 & Nov.1) we are all hoping to take a trip to Grand Rapids to see Rachelle.....she just informed us that there are a couple of confirmed cases of the swine flu on her floor and her friend that she eats lunch with and has a couple of classes with now has a headache, fever and is achy all over!!  I'm praying we all stay healthy!!!  It'll be fun to see her again.....skype is great but not the same a visiting in person :o)  I hope you are all well...I'll try to get some pictures up with the next blog.  Take care and love you,  the Veenstra's in WI
