SPELLING BEE WINNERS
Russell Middle School had their annual Spelling Bee earlier this month. The school
winner was Brianna Reddick and Derik Kitchens was first runner-up. Both will parti
cipate in the county wide Spelling Bee on January 30 at the Barrow County Schools
Professional Development Center.
Students learn about grocery store depts.
The K-4 students of
Bethlehem Christian Academy
recently went on a field trip to
Publix.
As the students were study
ing nutrition and healthy eat
ing habits, school officials
said taking a trip to the local
supermarket was a great way
for them to experience first
hand all of the departments
within the store.
Mrs. Sharon showed the
students around the store. The
first stop was at the delica
tessen, where the students
observed the rotisserie chick
en cooking and learned that
it is healthier to eat chicken
prepared this way, rather than
fried. The students were also
given a sample of American
cheese.
Next, they were on to the
bakery department, where
Mrs. Wanda showed them the
tools involved in decorating
a cake and they tasted the
icing.
Then, the students learned
about the meat department,
where they were taught that
bacon, ham and pork chops
all come from pigs.
After learning all of the
things you can make from
beef, Mrs. Sharon brought out
HELPING OUT
Students Bryson Heliums and Jordan Sorah watch
a Publix employee demonstrate how a pineapple
machine works.
a live lobster for the students to
touch. Mrs. Sharon explained
about the lobsters' feet, one is
larger than the other. The larg
er foot is for catching the food
and the smaller hand is for
eating the food. Produce was
the next stop. After talking
about different fruits and veg
etables, Mr. John brought out
his machine used to remove
the core from a pineapple.
Students Bryson Heliums
and Jordan Sorah assisted
Mr. John as he demonstrated
how the pineapple machine
worked. After a quick stop at
the pharmacy, the tour of the
store was over.
All of the students were
given coloring books, a bal
loon, a pencil and an apple
to encourage healthy eating
habits.
‘MEDEA’ PERFORMERS
The cast of Christopher Durang’s “Medea” includes (L-R) Gavin Campbell, Jennifer
Boast, Jim Le, Gracie Ham, Ana Durango, Anette llus and Alexia Zarco. The perform
ers are students at Apalachee High School.
High schools to perform one-act plays
The Barrow County high
schools and the Winder
Cultural Arts Department
will present “Theatre on
Theatre” on Friday and
Saturday, Jan. 23-24, at 7:30
p.m.
The Apalachee High
School and Winder-Barrow
High School drama depart
ments will jointly perform
an evening of one act plays
about the subject of theatre.
The plays approach the
topic from several different
viewpoints and will be per
formed in the Colleen O.
Williams Theatre on Athens
Street.
Each play is 15-35 minutes
in length with a 20-minute
intermission after the first
performance.
Apalachee’s first play,
directed by Elinor Hasty,
is a comedy titled, “The
Great Pandemonium.” A
frustrated high school direc
tor, portrayed by Brent
Lowe, attempts to control
a rather eclectic group of
students during the dress
rehearsal of their version of
Shakespeare’s Richard III.
Anything that can go wrong
does, driving the director to
the brink of insanity — and
perhaps a little beyond.
Winder-Barrow Theatre,
directed by Laurie Allen,
will perform Christopher
Durang’s “The Actor’s
Nightmare.” In this hilari
ous comedy a very confused
understudy, portrayed by
Chance Wall, finds himself
in a production that he has
no memory of ever rehears
ing.
To make matters even
more absurd, the other actors
continuously change plays
so that he is never certain
of exactly which role he is
supposed to portray. Is he
Hamlet, Sir Thomas More,
or some other character that
he doesn’t know?
Apalachee Theatre will
complete the evening’s enter
tainment with Christophei
Durang’s satire of “Medea,”
with Jennifer Boast in the
title role.
This rather bizarre one act,
directed by Susan Pierce,
examines the fate of Medea
after Jason abandons her fot
his new love — Debbie.
Tickets are available in
advance for $8 and can be
purchased at Pam Veader’s
State Farm Insurance, at
Winder City Hall, and in the
front offices of both high
schools.
For credit card purchases,
call 770-867-3106. Tickets
may also be purchased at
the door the night of the
performances with only cash
or check. For directions, call
the Winder Cultural Arts
Center at 678-425-6884.
