Cary-Grove High School Music Department

proudly presents

Curtains, a musical comedy whodunit, comes to the Cary-Grove stage this spring.  Set in 1959 Boston, the show follows the fallout when the supremely untalented star of Robbin' Hood is murdered during her opening night curtain call. Can a police detective who moonlights as a musical theater fan save the show, solve the case, and maybe even find love before the show reopens without getting killed himself? Find out in this hilarious backstage murder mystery!

*This show contains some mature content*

ACT Practice Test Program
with Weekly Incentives!!!

Once again, we are giving all students the opportunity to prepare for the ACT. Not only will you receive ACT help, but once you complete the weekly test, print your score, and submit your score to the college and career center, your name will go into a raffle. There are several great prizes this semester. If you take each of the four weekly tests, your name will go into a different raffle where you could win a $400 Visa gift card. The program will start the week of March 8th. You will be receiving information on the program during your first period class on Thursday, March 4th.

Each Monday after each testing week, four students’ names will be picked for a raffle prize. The raffle prizes each week include: a $20 Itunes card, a $20 movie card, a $20 gas card, $20 Jamba Juice card.  Also, after the second week, a complimentary prom ticket and a VIP parking spot will be given. At the end of the ACT incentive program, two lucky winners will be awarded the $400 Visa gift card or a lunch for you and three friends to a restaurant TBD by Mr. Sargeant.

No Cell Phones in a School Zone Law

On January 1st, 2010, a new law took effect - Senate Bill 72 titled "Vehicular Phone Use in School Zones". According to the new law:  "A person, regardless of age, may not use a wireless telephone at any time while operating a motor vehicle on a roadway in a school speed zone."  A motorist can use a cell phone in a school zone if they are in voice activated or "hands free" mode. This is outlined in (iv) of Public Act 096-0131. To read the entire text of the new law please see http://www.drivinglaws.org/ill.php

The IDOT summary of the new driving law indicates that the new laws ban motorists from sending text messages while driving in Illinois, and make it illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving through a highway construction zone or SCHOOL ZONE.  In addition, it will become illegal to compose, send or read text messages, instant messages and email on a cell phone or surf the internet while driving.  The ban also includes personal digital assistants and portable or mobile computers, but does not include global positioning systems (GPS) or navigation systems.
