Shakespeare Festival! -Extra Credit

April 29 through May 1

Murray City Cultural Arts and the Murray School District will team up to present a Shakespeare Festival April 29 through May 1. A free green show in the Murray High Commons area will begin the festivities each night at 6 PM (excluding May 1), featuring a royalty processional and vignettes by Longview 6th grade students and a Punch and Judy puppet show presented by Hillcrest Junior High. Murray High drama students will present a sonnet "Idol" style competition that will involve audience voting at 7:30 PM, followed by Midsummer's Night Dream at 8 PM in the Little Theater. Tickets for the play may be purchased at the door for only $3 as this program is partially funded by a ZAP grant. High school advanced drama students will also be presenting free improv and stage combat workshops for students in grades 5-9 on Friday, April 30 from 4 to 5:30 PM in the MHS Little Theater. Registration forms for the workshops are available from junior high and high school drama teachers, at the Murray Parks Office and will be sent home through 5th and 6th grade classes.

Christmas at Hailey's House...Lena Lundwall

All of a sudden we heard a knocking at the door. The fluffy little fur ball started barking like it was the end of the world. Hailey gets up and tells Izze to stop barking. She opens the door and sees a man standing at the door wearing a ginormous coat.

christmas by parker schafer

time is moving slower almost motionless as the cold maple syrup that I am looking forward to have when the time is right the sun has risen when Christmas morning begins I don’t know how many times I will continue to have this time stopping nightmare of waiting for the call to get gifts and see the reactions from the gifts I gave, And when our Christmas is at an end we got what we hoped for and a little bit more. , Now I look into the darkness of the shadowy warm room and thinking about the true meaning of Christmas, time flies like a warm glass of maple syrup that is settling at the bottom of my stomach, this reminds me of the day of never forgotten love.

The Season of Celebration by Emily McBride

The house is decked out with snow men, holly and garland. Lights illuminate my life and remind me of how good it truly is....This is where memories are made, and the one word that describes it all, Bliss!
