Join us to see THE HUMANS, a Tony Award-winning play, on November 15th at the Pittsburgh Public Theater. It’s been called the “Best Play of the Year” by the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Entertainment Weekly, among other sources. What’s it about? Brigid and Richard have moved into a shabby two-floor apartment in New York’s Chinatown just in time for Thanksgiving, and her family arrives from Scranton, PA to laugh, argue, and eat around the table. But also dished up are fears, real and imagined, experienced by many Americans dealing with life today.  Don’t miss it!  And don’t delay!  Tickets are $18, and you can pay by cash or check made payable to “NASH.” Permission forms can be picked up in GOAL or downloaded through Blackboard.

The acceptance packages from the Westinghouse Science Honors Institute are on the way.  If you applied please listen closely.  I am happy to say that everyone who applied on the regular list was accepted.  Your packet will arrive on Tuesday.

Unfortunately, there was no room for people on the Wait List.  You may be disappointed, but don’t despair.  Mrs. Ruffolo sent you an e-mail this morning explaining some other options.  Some of those e-mail addresses were hard to read though.    If you check your e-mail during homeroom and there is nothing there from Mrs. Ruffolo, please come to the GOAL office for a copy of the e-mail.
