Fall Showcase 2020 Final Calendar

 Hey Cast!

I will have calendars printed for you on Monday to pick up, but you can always wait till we are back at school or just use this online one, as they are the same. I did work around your conflicts, but please let me know if you see any issues.  Remember to get your fees in ASAP and know I will be reaching out to parents this next week to see who can head up dinners for tech weeks - so please give them that heads up.

I'm so excited to get started really working on this this next week - now get to memorizing! 

The pictures are a bit blurry with some printers and devices, SO here is a google doc with the calendar - I did not reformat, so please forgive the awkward formatting:
