Dear PTSA Members,

We are in need of your help immediately. Centreville High School will not get any renovations via our ranking in Fairfax County Public Schools for many years.  Our theater which is used by our students, teachers, administrators, and community desperately needs an audio/visual uplift.  We have a bid that includes an equalizer, speakers, and microphones, etc. in excess of  $5000.  Drama club, PTSA, and Mr. Campbell have all contributed to this amount; however, we are still in need of more. Please consider donating to this wonderful cause because we are extremely outdated and it would be a significant contribution for the entire community.  Please make checks payable to CVHS, with THEATER in the memo section. Your donation, in any amount, will go a long way to help this significant renovation.

Thank You,
Cathy Moraco
PTSA President

Thank you to the Drama Boosters from Mr. Rogers

The grades are in and “Senioritis” has just proved to be a hit. It is amazing the strength and depth of our students during this show. You all deserve standing ovations and rest !! But as we close the curtains on this years shows, there are so many people that helped make this show a success.
First off, “thank you” goes out to both Mr. Rogers and Mr. Hudson for their endless hours given to this show and this past year. You both share your own unique talents to make our kids create magic on and behind the stage. Special thanks and I know you are looking forward to the summer.
But no show happens without the dedicated help of all our wonderful volunteer parents and students. This show brought us new faces that were eager to learn and we hope to see them all next year.

A few people I really need to send heart-felt appreciatation for all their hard work. “SNAPS” to my two co-leaders, Denise Tilllema and Linda Peterson. You both make show time fun! Cathy Goff is now our program guru and she had done a fabulous job and we look forward to her help in the future. Tom Paradis, our Drama photography, has been great taking pictures for all the shows. Check out the flickr site for this years pictures. He will be clicking away at Thespis Awards for all those glamour shots. Two very dedication young ladies were my right arm for each show set up and Cappie Ushers. Annemarie Scerra and Krista Catalfamo you two made set up amazing, thanks so much.
Lastly, I have to thank all the senior drama/tech parents and kids for all their dedication and support they have extended to me this year. You all leave very large shoes for the future DB. parents to fill. Again, thank you all for a wonderful show and exciting year !

Chris Starr, Drama Booster President
