HEADLINES: Breakfast Club At Blue Ridge High Pictured are Alexis Axtell, Ashley Winnie, Jessica Williams, Nathan Hall, Steve DelFino. Who wants to serve a Saturday detention? Not most, but you may want to witness one on this occasion when Blue Ridge High School stages a Saturday detention via its spring play, "The Breakfast Club" by John Hughes. A princess, a brain, an athlete, a basket case, and the school criminal all come together to serve time but end up serving themselves when they learn that there is a little bit of everyone in each of them. The play will be presented on April 25 and 26, 7:00 in the Blue Ridge High School Theater. General admission tickets will be available at $3.00 each. Enjoy an evening of laughter, tears, and introspection, while supporting our students.

Summit Four Susquehanna County youths attended the BUSTED! Regional Summit on March 15 and 16. Jed Millard and Chris Reinwald, students from Montrose Area High School, along with Sarah Rusek and Amber LaMont from Mountain View attended the summit held at Bloomsburg University. Busted is the name for the youth-led anti-tobacco movement in the state. The Pennsylvania Department of Health began working in March, 2001 on this effort that helps teens understand how tobacco industry advertising can manipulate teens to use tobacco. This summit was aimed at helping teens work locally to promote smoke-free restaurants, bowling alleys, and parks, to name a few. "Today’s teens are playing a role as leaders in Susquehanna County promoting a smoke-free environment," says Joan Dooley, TREHAB D&A Prevention Specialist, who is facilitating the local program.

MTV Celebrity At Montrose High School Piggy Thomas, from MTV’s popular reality show Road Rules, will be at Montrose High School, Montrose, on Friday, May 16 at 9:00 a.m. Piggy will give a presentation for middle/high school aged students about tobacco and the deadly consequences of its use. Piggy has developed a dynamic talk that incorporates entertainment with an important message. Stories of her experiences on television and honesty about her addiction to cigarettes ensure a captivated audience, as she delivers a program of about 45 minutes in length. Piggy uses a couple of short clips from MTV’s Road Rules that show her in a most unflattering light, getting caught smoking in a bathroom stall, a particularly pathetic and lonely testament to the grip of tobacco addiction. Piggy is making every effort to eliminate the manipulation of Big Tobacco on today’s youth and commented, "Big Tobacco has manipulated our youth for too long by glamorizing tobacco products. Let’s glamorize not smoking, together." Mt. View Elementary Spring Concert Set After a year dubbed with late starts for building project completion and scheduling snafus as a result of weather problems from the winter that would never end, Mountain View Elementary students have, with great hope, planned a spring concert in the great expectation that spring, will, indeed, arrive! The students of the Mountain View Elementary School will be giving their own special welcome to the season as the band and chorus present their 2003 Spring Concert, on May 2. Curtain time for this gala event is 7 p.m. at the Mountain View High School auditorium. The public is invited to attend. Admission is free (an optional freewill donation may be given at the door – also, a bake sale sponsored by the band parents will donate proceeds towards the purchase of an elementary band instrument). The elementary band will fill the stage with its 100 members representing nearly 50% of Mountain View’s fifth and sixth grade students. These talented musicians have been rehearsing their concert music in "Advanced Band" and "Beginning Band" groupings since early February. During the last three weeks of April, both groups will combine their efforts into one big sound to prepare for the grand show on May 2. The band will open the evening of entertainment with a traditional arrangement of "America," after which they will embark on a program of musical variety highlighting different styles of music such as a typical band march, folk song, country hoe-down, Indian rain-dance, and ethnic polka numbers, as well as multiple selections of rock, boogie and blues. A large number of talented sixth grade students have special plans for stepping into the spotlight with ensemble selections including the "Home Alone" movie theme, "Somewhere in my Memory," as well as the Latin American style "La Bamba" and an all-time favorite from out of the past, "Louie, Louie." The elementary chorus will be performing "traveling" songs. Some of the numbers include "Yellow Submarine," "The Locomotion" and "Ease on Down the Road." There will also be sixth grade soloists featured. The elementary music department of the Mountain View School District is very proud of its many young band and chorus participants. With such musical talent and enthusiasm in common, it is certain that these students will provide an evening of fine musical entertainment for all those who come out to enjoy their concert.
