We Recommend Wednesday: meet our 1st period library aide, Darcie. Darcie loves to read romance and murder mystery. Her favorite authors are Kasie West and April Henry. She recommends Maybe This Time by Kasie West although she says it is hard to pick a favorite. Love Luck and the List is another great book by the same author. If you like sweet romantic stories, try this book!

Today FORTY theatre students in middle school and high school got to see The Three Musketeers at TheatreSquared in Fayetteville. It was such a great adventure with lots of comedy and sword fighting. Thanks especially to Dora Venable for driving the bus, Anna Williams for helping to chaperone, and all the amazing help at TheatreSquared. They help us in so many ways. This time they also arranged a talkback with the actors from the show. It was wonderful!

The Mena JR. JV played Cossatot River on Tuesday at Bob Carver Bearcat Stadium.
