Planet in Focus Student Film Festival

20 tickets have been set aside for our school.  11 have been accounted for and 9 remain.  Please return the permission letter (sent out on Friday) to take in our exciting film at the gala event!

Acting opportunity:

In the Fall, we visited the Regent Park Film Festival.  One of the films, which was part of the Grade 7 & 8 program was done by filmaker Alicia Harris.   She is working on another film and I am trying to spread the word of actors who may welcome the opportunity to audition for a role!
