Hello All,
In support of Moon High School, I encourage you to go see "The Drowsy Chaperone".
Please see the email below from Bridget F.
*********************************************
Dear Mrs Manuel,
Hello, I was wondering if you could send out a bigger email to the theater asking if they would like to go see Moon's Drowsy Chaperone on Friday. Dr. Michael's family bought out all the seats and are giving them away with the promo code: DRMIKE
I thought it would be nice to go and support them as a group.
Thank you,
Bridget
