Cab Calloway at "Sunday with Shakespeare"

If you'd like to see CCSA senior Pierre Theron perform a chilling monologue from Titus Andronicus or catch a scene slice from Hamlet, directed by Shannon Clark, or The Taming of the Shrew, directed by Lindsay Reed and Alysia VanLooy, stop by UD on Sunday, February 28th and join us for a little Shakespeare.

"Sunday with Shakespeare" will be held from 1 to 5 PM at the Thompson Theatre in the new Roselle Center for the Arts on Amstel Avenue at the University of Delaware. The event is free and open to the public.

A Teachers Workshop will be held at 11:30 am: Dr. Halio and PTTP's Leslie Reidel will provide you with an hour of Professional Development at 11:30 AM. All you need to do is show up at the Thompson Theatre. If you can, stay for the Sunday with Shakespeare program starting at 1 pm." There will be refreshments at intermission.

The event will combine the statewide Shakespeare Competition, featuring individual students performing monologues and reciting sonnets, with the former New Castle County Shakespeare Festival, featuring troupes of actors performing scenes. Both will be viewed by an audience of their peers and from UD's REP (Resident Ensemble Players) Company who will serve as judges for the Competition and commentators for the Festival. The performances will be interspersed with entertainments by the day's Master of Revels, Christopher Davis, the Renaissance Man.
Sponsoring organizations include: Delaware Humanities Forum, Delaware Branch of the English-Speaking Union, the theatre program at the University of Delaware, Padua Academy and the Cab Calloway School of the Arts, and the Cab Calloway School Fund.

Mr. Masiello's class learns vocabulary!

We all know those Cab sixth grade students have impressive vocabularies, thanks to their wonderful English teacher, Mr. Masiello. Ever wonder how they learn all those challenging words? Take a look; NBC TV 10 in Philadelphia posted this video clip of an English class learning vocabulary words by using music and movement: http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local-beat/Your_News__Your_Video__Wall_Words_Philadelphia.html. Audacious!

Cab Calloway support for Haiti

Maya Shapira, a 6th grade student at Cab Calloway is Dr. Nadiv Shapira's daughter. He just returned from Haiti on the DE Medical Mission team. A video of their trip created for the Wilmington News Journal is available at http://www.delawareonline.com/video#/Delaware+medical+team+helps+Haitians+heal/64194009001.

Mrs. Shapira reports:
A 20-member medical team from Delaware spent a week treating earthquake victims in n the coastal town of Jacmel, Haiti, where the town's only hospital lay in ruins. We are sending out our second medical team this Wednesday. More medications and medical supplies are needed. If you can get them to me or to the location listed below by Tuesday evening that would be great. If that is too soon, don't worry, we will be sending teams continuously, for as long as we can.

Assessment Day Thanks!

Thank you to everyone who sent or brought in donations for Assessment Day on Saturday! Once again, we had a wonderful response from our Cab families! We had many parents and assessing students visit the Hospitality Room. They were very grateful for the snacks, water, and coffee.
Thanks also to the parent and student volunteers who worked in the room throughout the day!
