Several students in the Spanish program took the APPLL exam to attempt to get the Seal of Biliteracy. The seal demonstrates that one has an Intermediate High - Advanced Low level in a language and awards a substantial amount of college credits. These 8 students achieved this outstanding achievement, and 98% of those who took the test received commendation which states they passed in one or more of the 4 proficiency categories (reading, writing, speaking, listening). Our seniors aimed to achieve this goal this past Wednesday as well by taking the AP Spanish and Language exam! We are so proud of our hard-working students! Congrats Redbirds!
Congratulations to Ashton Davis, who will continue her athletic and academic career by playing lacrosse at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, IA.

Announcing the 2023 Fall Play!
CLUE
Directed by Tyler Smith
From Broadway Licensing:
CLUE is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by Wadsworth, the butler, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up. Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out … WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT!
There will be an Informational Meeting for interested students on Tuesday, May 9th from 6 pm-7 pm in the Auditorium. Auditions will be held on Friday, May 19th from 6 pm-8 pm in the Auditorium. Questions? Contact the Director at tsmith@mths.us
The production dates of CLUE are:
September 15-17, 2023
We hope to see you there!
