Here's how it works:
November 19 | Preview & Wish List: Students will browse the gifts with their class and create a wish list of their favorites.
November 20 | Class Shopping: Students can purchase gifts during their scheduled Book Fair time. Please send cash!
November 23 | Shop With Parents: Families can shop together during parent-teacher conferences.

With gifts ranging from $1 to $5, there's something for everyone! Some items come in surprise colors, making the shopping experience even more fun. Take a look at the gift guide and help your child plan their shopping! We still need more parent volunteers - please consider signing up for a 1-hour slot!

Hinsdale Central Drama Presents Six: The Musical!

Divorced. Beheaded. Died. Divorced. Beheaded. Survived.

Six queens. One stage. And it's their turn to tell the story! Hinsdale Central Drama presents SIX, the high-energy, pop-concert musical about girl power, sisterhood, and finding your voice. Henry VIII's six wives trade heartbreak for harmony as they take back the mic and remind us that we're stronger together.

At about 80 minutes with no intermission, it's a great family night out, and a chance for future Red Devils to see what's waiting for them at Hinsdale Central! Shows are: Friday, 11/20 at 6 PM, Saturday, 11/21 at 1 PM and 6 PM and Sunday, 11/22 at 1 PM. Tickets can be purchased here: https://ticketpeak.com/go/hcdrama/events. Use coupon code FOTC to receive $5 off each ticket!
