After the weekend, it has been hard to return to “normal.”
This is the year to have a state trip. The cinnamon roll sales was our
fundraiser. We intended to have another, but contests crept up on
us. Therefore, we will be spending one night – Thursday, April 13.
We will leave at 6AM Thursday and return Friday afternoon, April 14. Only
those students who participated in the fundraiser will be eligible to go. The
Wyndham in Round Rock has given us a group as well as the government rate. We
will be watching the 5A shows. Students will need to provide $24. for the two
sessions of plays; each session is $12.00. Students will also need to pay
for their meals. The hotel will provide breakfast, but students will need
to eat a hearty meal before the plays begin at 4:00 because we will not return
to the hotel until after midnight Thursday. Please let me know if your child/children
will be able to join us by Tuesday.
It has been a sad end to the journey. I could not have
asked for a better, more hardworking group of students. Thank you for your
support. If you see Nicole Talley and her husband, please thank
them. We could not have done this with ease without their help. Nicole
was in charge of the cinnamon roll fundraiser and she coordinated snacks for
the trips. The Kolmans provided the meals last Thursday for the students.
Thanks for your support. Please contact me if you have
questions.

This play has effected me greatly! At the beginning I wasn't sure how things were going to go but once mrs couch started putting everything together I realized that this show has great potential! Playing to role of Annie made me think about all the young girl who are going through the same situations as her. Young girls who have been overpowered by strong men. Not only physically but in the workforce also. I also sympathized with the girls who were able to get themselves out of those situations but later fell back into them. I have a heart for helping people and this play let me see the everyday struggles some people face unfortunately. I have a deeper understanding and a deeper respect for every person I encounter. You never know what people are going through so it's very important to respect and value everyone.
ReplyDeleteThis play gave me a better understanding of the time period as well as the abuse that some women experience. I learned a greater respect for those women for how tough they truly are.
ReplyDeleteThis play and script is so heavily involved in women's rights and injustice that I wouldn't even know where to begin. However, it is moreso using the women as an illustration of the social discrepancies that exist in society today. This being brought to mind, I thought a lot about the way the social hierarchies of the school function, and have done my best to bridge the gaps between these "classes." However, what has made the biggest impact on me is how the people in this OAP group do not discriminate and they accept people, and the put their differences aside for one another. There was never another group that was better suited for this play, and it shows in how they've changed me, and how they interact with the world outside of the stage. They are truly the Shallowater Gut Girls, and everyone has been more than blessed to have them on stage, in their minds, and in our hearts.
