until 10:30 am.

SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE SUBURBS
Wednesday, March 8 at
7 p.m. at South Lakes High School
and
Thursday, March 16 at
7 p.m. at Westfield High School
Parents and adults in the community are invited
to attend one of two upcoming Saturday Night in the
Suburbs programs in March.
This adults-only UPC parent awareness program
features an evening of dialogue with a panel of high school seniors on drugs
and alcohol use, teen parties, and healthy teen-parent communication. Middle
school and high school parents can benefit from this program.
"Parents find this to be somewhat
eye-opening," said UPC's Jennifer Lewis-Cooper, who will facilitate the
events. "We will not ask the panel specific names, dates, places of events
or put them on the spot -- their job is not to 'snitch' on others but to
educate parents to understand what teens are dealing with and help parents to
set better limits and increase resiliency."
Mark your calendars now to attend these events
hosted by each school's PTSA:
-
Wednesday, March 8 at 7 p.m., at
South Lakes High School (Lecture Hall), 11400 South Lakes Drive, Reston
-
Thursday, March 16 at 7 p.m. at
Westfield High School (Lecture Study), 4700 Stonecroft Blvd.,
Chantilly
Share the South Lakes event flier
and the Westfield event flier.
ACADEMIC ADVISING
AND COURSE SELECTION FOR THE 2017-18 SCHOOL YEAR - During January, February and March all school
counselors will meet with each of their rising 10th, 11th, and 12th graders
individually to selection courses for the 2017-18 school year. During
this time, your child will bring home their course selection materials.
It is imperative that you review this information with your student as course

on the course selections students make. Please know, to ensure
appropriate placement, all course selections will be discussed with and reviewed
by the school counselor.

Herndon High School welcomes The
Kennedy Center as it presents
From the Mouths of Monsters
A World Premiere Kennedy Center Commission by
Idris Goodwin
Directed by Douglas Irvine, Inspired by Mary
Shelley’s classic book Frankenstein
Teenager Michelle struggles to find the confidence to speak. A mysterious doctor gives her a mask to help,
but the gift possesses supernatural powers that cause her to give words amazing
power—and also the potential to cause terrible harm. Will Michelle be able to master the monster
within?
This highly theatrical work is inspired by Mary Shelley’s
enduring classic Frankenstein, which
celebrates 200 years in 2018. For the
book’s upcoming special anniversary, award-winning playwright and BreakBeat
poet Idris Goodwin, along with acclaimed director Douglas Irvine (the Kennedy
Center’s presentations of Jason and the
Argonauts and The Adventures of Robin
Hood), have created a fiercely relevant two-actor play that examines the
monstrous power of words… and those who wield them.

Sunday, March 19th at 2:00 pm
