We are very excited to put on our first student-written piece, "Ellie", a one-act play written by senior Theo Herrin.
When a life-altering tragedy changes the course of Elliot’s life, his carefree youth comes to an end. Speaking to his once friends becomes impossible; his parents understand nothing; his younger sibling infuriates him; and he is haunted by a terrifying group of escaped prisoners, who seem to want nothing more than to tell him that everything is his fault, and nothing will ever change. The question is not whether escape is possible - but whether Elliot is strong enough to find it.
We can't wait to see you all there!
Lost and Found tables will be out in the main lobby today: Tuesday, February 20th and Wednesday, February 21st.
Take this opportunity to look to see if you have anything missing!
We will continue to put items out. Any items left will be donated at the end of the Quarter 3 (March 29th).

The Heavenly Food Pantry, located at the First Congregational Church on Main Street in Essex Junction, will be open to families residing in Essex, Essex Junction and Westford on Thursday, February 22, from 3-6 p.m.
Families arriving will be given a number when they enter the building. When their number is called, they will be registered and introduced to a volunteer, who will guide them around the pantry while they select their food. Another volunteer will bring the food to the family’s vehicle. Shopping carts will be made available for those within walking distance of the pantry. As usual, there are no income requirements to visit the food pantry and a variety of food is available to everyone; however, additional food is provided once a month by the USDA to eligible families who fall below federally mandated guidelines.
The next food pantry distribution will occur on Monday, March 11, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
