If You Want To Go Owling, You Have To Be Quiet- "Owl Moon"

By Anonymous
During the past week our focus was very intently on owls.  We had already learned a great deal about these amazing creatures by the time that Mark and Marcia Wilson brought their Eyes on Owls program to Rashi.  Kindergartners were so excited to be only feet away from the six owls and one falcon that we got to meet and learn about.  Later in the week we looked inside owl pellets and showed our learning about owls in a number of ways.

The fresh snow this week also allowed us to find lots of fresh animal tracks.  We did tracking outside and indoors, as well, as you'll see when you check out our photo album!  Enjoy!

The Middle School After School Drama Elective will be presenting "The Trumpet of the Swan" in November and the students are hard at work staging, designing, creating and learning many theater skills that can be used during the performance process.  The following information has been submitted by our Grade 8 Student Officers who are members of the International Thespian Society (ITS) in the Rashi Middle School Theater Program.  As we get ready for our Fall show, we’d like to share a little bit about how we’ve been preparing for it in the tech booth. The lighting system is mostly up and running again as it was taken down at the end of last year for lighting maintenance. We’ve been working to arrange it in a way that is comfortable for the technicians in the Tech Booth to be able to program the lights for the show. We’ve also been gathering and designing the sound cues, and we’re getting ready to program them into the soundboard.  Ari I - ITS President - Class of '24 In the

Spotlight on the Lower School Show

This year I have had the opportunity to work with the lower school students on their wonderful After School fall show, The Twelve Dancing Princesses . I am the Production Assistant for the show. As somebody who has worked with Bonny in the Rashi School Theater Program for a very long time, I love seeing all the students show their love for theater every Monday. It brings me so much joy when I get to work with them and give them acting advice, the helpful tips and tricks that I was taught when I was younger by the student leader helping out. I love being able to work with the students and gain closer bonds with them as both a regular student and a role model. I choose to work with these students because I know how fun and exciting drama can be especially when you are a part of a younger age group. I feel like the older you get the more awkward or ¨embarrassing” certain shows and roles can be, which can affect your acting because it might be a little out of your comfort zone. This parti
