Shakespeare Tonight at FLC
As a result of our work with Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the FLC Community Concert Hall has invited Animas High School to a professional production of the play for half-price! ($11 for balcony seats).
The Aquila Theatre Company will be presenting their innovative take on the play on Tuesday, March 22 at 7:30 pm at the Concert Hall. There will also be a pre-show discussion with the performers, free and open to the public, at 6:30 in the Vallecito Room of the Student Union Building.
To purchase tickets for your child, please call (970)-247-7657 or
visit the ticket office (707 ½ Main Avenue - corner of 7th & Main).
To take advantage of the special pricing, you must identify yourself with Animas High School and ask for the ½ price tickets before finalizing the sale. This is a wonderful opportunity to reinforce the learning experience that we all recently shared studying and performing this play. Students are strongly encouraged to attend!
Flower Power Fundraiser
It’s that time of year again to start thinking about the warm days of summer and time well spent in your gardens! It’ also time for AHS’s second annual FLOWER POWER fundraiser. On Friday, March 18th, AHS kicked off our Flower Power Fundraiser which runs until April 8th. Students have received catalogs and can sell plants locally or long distance via the web. Flower Power is extremely user friendly this year with online ordering linked directly off of AHS’s homepage. www.animashighschool.com
Our goal is for every student to sell $ 150.00 worth of flowers/plants to friends, relatives, neighbors, etc…The products are shipped directly to the customer and flowers are available nationwide. This is a great chance for those long distance family members and friends of AHS to log on and support our school! So as you dream of longer days and warm sunshine, we encourage you to utilize the Flower Power campaign for all your spring planting needs!
