On Tuesday, October 1st at 7pm, the actors from Actors From the London Stage will join us for our Kickoff Event: an interactive drama workshop and open Q&A session. Our focus for the evening is Shakespeare's Twelfth Night but we will also spend time hearing about the many merits of learning through the theatre arts and participate in exercises led by our visiting actors, all of whom are professional performers with experience at Shakespeare's Globe and other London theaters. The event is free and open to the public, and we especially hope that you will encourage your students to join in (even on a school night!). It will take place in the Black Box theatre inside the Valparaiso University Center for the Arts.
On Friday, October 4th at 7pm, the actors will perform Twelfth Night in the University Theatre (inside the Valparaiso University Center for the Arts) as part of our VU Homecoming Celebration and family weekend. $10 Tickets are available here. Whether your students are deeply familiar with Shakespeare or just beginning to learn about drama, the intimate and dynamic approach the Actors From the London Stage bring to their performances (5 actors, minimal sets) can be a particularly rich learning experience.

Please view this important message from the East Porter County School Corporation.
The EPCSC principals have created a message for our communities about sportsmanship. Our rivalries are important and in many ways fundamental to who we are. We want to embrace this, yet at the same time understand where the limits exist. At Washington Township, we want to distinguish ourselves by doing things the right way. Please take a moment to listen to our message. On you Senators!

New Mentoring Program at Washington Twp Middle
Middle school can be a lot to navigate. That is why we are thrilled to announce a new mentoring program at Washington Township Middle School in conjunction with our friends at Our Greater Good!! We will be starting groups for 6th grade boys and girls initially and hope to start soon.
Mentors will come alongside these students to provide them a safe, consistent place to learn, grow and process the things they are dealing with at home, school and in the community. Here are a few facts about the program and the groups:
Meet weekly after school for about an hour - day of the week TBD by group
Consist of up to12 students and 4 mentors
Have snack, a check in time, a talk/discuss/learn time and maybe an activity
Groups ideally remain together until the students exit the program or graduate high school (mentors commit to one school year at a time)
Mentors go through a brief training and clear a background check
Each year, East Porter is proud to have so many incredible graduates making a difference in the world. Do you know an East Porter alumnus doing amazing things? We want to celebrate them! Nominate them for their achievements, accomplishments, or awards today!
