Request for Help
I received this email from an Extra who was in the Disney film — please let me know if you know anything about this:
Hi there!
My name is Rebecca, and I was at your school last week for the filming of Chang Can Dunk/Buckets.
First, congratulations to your group for being selected to be part of a Disney film, that is such an honor!
Second, you all were amazing! The band sounded so professional, and I was really impressed with the coordination of the whole group. I loved the flags — from the stands, they really look like flames!
Third, I was hoping I could enlist your help please. While I was in the auxiliary gym (holding area), I misplaced a small ziplock bag which contained 4 pairs of pierced earrings. I am hoping that perhaps someone found it! Would you mind please asking your folks if they found it? I would offer a reward for its return — the earrings have sentimental value, as my mom gave me several of the pairs.
There was one pair of silver earrings (wire with half moons at the bottom), one pair of gold “lacy” earrings roughly in the shape of flowers, one pair of oval gold earrings with a pearl-like stone in the center, and one pair of black dangling earrings with pink stones.
Thank you so much for your assistance! I wish you all the best for the rest of the school year, and I can’t wait to see the movie!

CT State Championships Ticket Exchange
I have deleted the data from the event that was to happen on Wednesday Nov 3.
PLEASE click the link below if you need to sell your tix, or ask for more!
As in the past, every family is required to purchase 2 tickets for the State Championships at approx $18ea. Since not every family can use BOTH or even one ticket, and some families need MORE than 2 tickets — we have set up a “Ticket Exchange”.
First come, first served. Please fill out the form. There is no guarantee that we can sell your unwanted tickets, or that we will have extra! (tickets are also sold at the gate). If you do NOTHING you will be charged for 2 tickets and can pick them up at the tennis courts at 3p Wednesday.
