SCA Movie Night coming up
On behalf of the Sophomore Class of 2025 you are invited you to a very special event - A Theater Movie Night! The Sophomores have rented out the Blue Mouse Theater, and selected The Lorax as the featured film.
The Lorax is a heart warming, child-friendly film, that can be enjoyed by the whole family! Our hope is that families will come out and we will have a big group of people to enjoy a fun memory with. (Parents would need to stay with elementary)
This is a fundraiser for our hardworking sophomores, so we are asking for a mandatory donation of $5-7, (to cover costs and save a seat) but of course feel free to donate more!
- When: Friday, April 28th 6:00- 9:00PM
- Where: Blue Mouse Theatre | 2611 N Proctor St, Tacoma, WA
- Any other questions can be directed to Class Advisor Miss Keller, who will be present helping the officers with this event.
- Donations can be made by card or cash, and tickets picked up in the High School Office.
- Guaranteed tickets need to be purchased by the afternoon of the 28th.
Possibly, but not guaranteed cash sales at the door for any remainder tickets.
Thank you so much for your consideration, we hope to see you there!!

Please slow down
We recently received some complaints from neighbors to the school about the speed of drivers to and from the school, especially on 66th street.
As a reminder, please stick to the 25 mph speed limit while in the neighborhoods around the school.

Kids sick? Keep them home, please
While COVID is over (apparently) we still ask that you keep your students home if they are under the weather.
Guarding against outbreaks of flu, colds or other illnesses will better set our students and staff up for success.
Thank you.
