Cab senior Chris Millison recently learned he was a finalist in the 2010 YoungARTS program, sponsored by the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. His position has earned him an all-expenses paid trip to Miami, Florida in January for a week of master classes, showcase performances, exhibitions, enrichment programs, and final adjudications. Only 150 finalists were selected from an initial applicant pool of nearly 6,000, so Chris' achievement is pretty impressive!
The youngARTS Finalists are the only students eligible to receive the White House designation of Presidential Scholars in the Arts. At the conclusion of youngARTS Week panelists nominate 60 youngARTS Finalists and 20 are ultimately selected as Presidential Scholars in the Arts. Finalists also qualify for cash awards ranging from $1,000-10,000.

Watch out for traffic!
Due to complaints from community members and surrounding businesses as well as parents at both Cab and Charter, patrolmen from the DE State Troopers will begin enforcing traffic laws and issuing citations as warranted beginning Monday, Nov. 16. Per instructions from Captain Pulling of the DE State Troopers, I am sending this email to make you aware that all traffic laws will be enforced. As we have done in the past, we encourage you to pull through the parking lot and drop off at the score board. This may require an adjustment to the time you leave your home, however, it is ultimately safer for you and your children and that is the primary concern. Thank you in advance for your cooperation, patience and support.
After-Prom party plans
Attention to all Junior and Senior Parents, it is time to start thinking of the After Prom Party. If you would like to help brain storm and create and terrific After-Prom Party for your son or daughter please contact Pamela Droke at droke@comcast.net. A suggestion box has been in the school for the students to give their ideas. Hopefully, it will help in creating an after-prom that the students will really want to come to and have activities that they would enjoy doing.
The first meeting will be posted soon. Watch for it and please come be a part of creating a memory for your child.
Sincerely,
Pamela Droke
