I hope, you did not miss the second production of the MHS drama class. "You Can't Take It with You" was a really great performance again. Some photos are below. I had to work a bit on them because Mr. Snyder asked not to use a flash. But I think they still give a bit of an impression what you can do in very tight spaces.

I don't know how widely publicized that is, but Mr. Snyder did record both performances, and has DVD's on sale. The proceeds will go towards the drama classes.

Thanks everybody for a great evening.  

Unfortunately, I'm currently a bit busy at work and the Tracy Tritons did start their season as well. But I wanted at least to share some pictures of our B&N book fair before too much other stuff comes up.

When I looked at the kids (and the parents), I think most where happy and enjoyed the evening at Banes & Noble and The Hometown Buffet.  I don't have any results yet, but I'm also not too much worried about the fund-raising. I think, it's much better when everybody can have fun.

Thanks to all the parents, the high school students and the teachers who helped to make this a great evening.

Some more pictures are below: 

I'm a little bit behind, but here are some impressions from the San Joaquin County Science Olympiad for 5th and 6th graders. It was already held on April 5th.

DCS sent two teams (gold and maroon) which would then build little sub-teams  to compete in the different events. Overall I think, there were five schools from Tracy, with the Jefferson School District  sending teams from three schools.

There was a similar  event for the 7th/8th graders a couple of weeks earlier. We don't have any kids in that age range yet and nobody else provided me with some info, so I can't say anything about it. But the Tracy Press had an article related to the state wide Olympiad a couple of days ago. It can be viewed here: A science experience

I think most attendants will agree, we had a great evening. OK, maybe not the crabs. But when I looked around the Portuguese Hall, everybody seemed to enjoy them.

Below are some impressions from this great evening. As always, without the help of many volunteers, events like that would not be possible. Thanks you very much.
