Quilters - RHS Drama Play - This Thurs through Sat (1/26 - 1/28)

Thursday, January 26th - 7:30 pm
Friday, January 27th - 7:30 pm
Saturday, January 28th - 7:30 pm

Combining music, dance movement and scenes of vivid dramatic intensity, the play pays eloquent tribute to the courage and spirit of our nation's pioneer woman. "Who would have thought that quilts, quilting-quilters-had so much joy and pain, laughter and tears, so much life, beauty and drama in them?"

Quilters,the musical is centered around the moving story and beautiful songs of a prairie mother, Sarah McKendree Bonham, played by Maddie D., as she passes on the traditions of a pioneer woman's life to her seven daughters.

Tickets at the door only. Box office opens one hour before curtain.

Winter Weather Email From Seattle School District

How to Find Out If Your School is Delayed or Canceled‏---Content from the Email Sent On 11/18/11 from the SSD Office of Public Affairs)

Dear families,

When we are expecting snow or inclement weather, a Seattle Public Schools central office team continually monitors conditions across the district. That includes having staff drive some of the streets that are typically more treacherous in snow and ice.

After consulting with other agencies, a decision is made about whether to delay school by two hours or if a closure is necessary. That decision is typically made by 5:30 a.m.

We communicate to staff and families in the following ways:

• Information is immediately sent to all Seattle TV and radio stations
• Information is posted on www.seattleschools.org
• Families will receive an automated phone call via School Messenger
• Check www.SchoolReport.org

Staff and families will receive one of the following four messages:

1. Seattle Public Schools: Two hours late – buses operating on snow routes. No door-to-door service. No Preschool or Head Start.
2. Seattle Public Schools: Two hours late – buses operating on regular routes. No door-to-door service. No Preschool or Head Start.
3. Seattle Public Schools: Schools closed.

Transportation: “Snow route” means that buses only run on roads that are maintained by the City that receive snow removal. Students who ride buses will receive notice of snow routes in the U.S. mail the week of Nov. 21.

Please note: During winter weather conditions, safety is our top priority. Our buses may run up to an hour late in the afternoon during slick weather conditions.

Thank you,

Office of Public Affairs
