CONGRATULATIONS, SHREK JR.CAST AND CHORUS MEMBERS!  

The 7th and 8th Grade Musical, Shrek Jr., cast and chorus list is above!  Just a reminder that the 8th grade choir has all the parts and the 7th grade choir is the musical chorus (7th grade choir will wear their choir t-shirts for the performances).  8th Grade Choir members will need to rent a Shrek Jr. costume.  We will be getting costumes from Springfield, MO, and from Omaha, NE.  Costume rental is $60 per person.  You may make checks payable to Norris and may send them anytime.  Please have your student give checks to us in choir.  As always, please email wes.hansmeyer@nsdtitans.org if you need any financial assistance.  We are glad to help.

Chromebook charging tip: Sometimes your chromebook is in a sleep mode and is not charging, even when plugged in. Check to see that the small red light beside the charger is lit when plugged in. If not, open and hold the refresh button and power button together, then release to reset the chromebook.  Then, plug the unit in and the red light 

should appear indicating it is charging. You should always see the red light on either side near the back lit when charging.
