Missoula Children's Theater - Auditions - January 25th
This is a great opportunity for kids who love to perform. If your son or daughter has a dramatic flair this program comes to Caldwell each winter. There are roles for kids from 1st to 12th grades.
The audition for the Missoula Children's Theatre production of Rumpelstiltskin will be held on Monday, January 25 from 4 pm – 6 pm. Students wishing to audition must arrive by the scheduled start time and stay for the entire two-hour session. Auditions are held at Lincoln Elementary School, located at 1200 Grant Street in Caldwell. A $5 audition/participation fee will be collected at the auditions. There are roles for students in 1st through 12th grade.
Approximately 50-60 local students will be cast to appear in Rumpelstiltskin. All other students will be cast in a fun Disney-themed musical preshow, directed by Annie Cerda of DreamWeaver Musical Theatre. This is a group audition–no advance preparation is necessary, but a smile never hurts. Some students will be asked to start rehearsals after auditions; some will begin practice the next day. All students will receive a detailed schedule for their show after rehearsals.
This production is made possible through financial support from Idaho Commission on the Arts, The National Endowment for the Arts, US Bancorp, The Whittenberger Foundation, The Idaho Community Foundation, SILO, West Valley Medical Center, and Blaisdell Dental.
For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit caldwellfinearts.org. All seats are reserved.

Fourth Grade "Adopts" a Soldier
Meet Patrick! 4th Grade's "Adopted Soldier." Patrick is a 21-year-old engineer for the Army, currently stationed in Kuwait and being forward deployed to Iraq soon. Students write letters to Patrick, send crafts, and also care package items he could use (like Q-tips, toothpaste, etc). Patrick has been such a wonderful resource for learning and really bringing a new appreciation to our students for what our soldiers are doing overseas!
If anyone would like to donate money (for items or shipping) or small non-perishable items for Patrick, please talk to one of the 4th-grade teachers or send the item(s) to school with your student. We send care packages once per month. He and his platoon are very grateful for all of the support and words of encouragement!
