Fall Play WCKY

Rehearsals are underway for Hamilton’s Fall Play. Actors are getting to know each other and figuring out who their characters are. We have weeks of hard work ahead of us, and we are up for the challenge!

It’s 1939 as we tune in to WCKY, a radio station celebrating its first night on the airwaves. Emotions are running high. The station owner, Darla Van Owen, is pacing the floor and making sure everything is set. In the midst of last-minute script revisions, one writer plans to propose to his true love, but something goes terribly wrong and he ends up the prime suspect in three murders. Will he end up in wedded bliss or jail? Tune in!

Hamilton’s GSA for LGBTQ+ students and allies will be held twice a month during Advisory and Lunchtime by grade level. Students may sign up by using a form found in their Advisory class’s Schoology page or by talking to a sponsor teacher. The GSA is a group for students to socialize and talk about their experiences as a student who identifies as LGBTQ+, is questioning, or wants to support LGBTQ+ family and friends as allies. The GSA at Hamilton has a long tradition of supporting students since it was first started a decade ago at the request of parents who were looking for an inclusive community for their students. Our school has always strived to provide a safe learning environment for all students, and the GSA has played an important role in helping some students feel more welcome at Hamilton.

Right at School has started, but we still have spots available. Kids receive daily homework support, hands-on learning experiences, engage in activities like chess, art, reading, and team projects, and participate in fitness games and sports. Daily activities are designed to build positive character traits, self awareness, and lifelong social skills. Are you interested?

• Every day from 4:05pm-6:00pm
