Upcoming CAST Show – Diary of Anne Frank

The CAST performing arts program at Julian Middle School will present “The Diary of Anne Frank” at 7:30 p.m. on April 24 and 25.

The play is a fitting finale for this year’s CAST season theme – we are more alike than we are unalike. “The Diary of Anne Frank” is based on the writings from the Dutch language diary kept by young Anne Frank while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.

Tickets are available in advance through the CAST website at www.op97.org/CAST or may be purchased at the door. Please contact Kathy Simon at 708-524-7848 or ksimon@op97.org for more information. The play will be performed in the auditorium at Julian, located at 416 S. Ridgeland Ave. in Oak Park.

Irving Student Council Food Drive

Student Council is sponsoring a school-wide food drive called: Irving’s “Can” Do Challenge. Let’s help the OPRF Food Pantry reach their goal of 100,000 points. When they reach their goal, the “Can Do Community Challenge” will donate and additional $25,000 to the food pantry. Many schools and organizations in Oak Park are working together. Please see the attached flyer to see how Irving can help earn points. Thank you!
