Come enjoy a night of laughs with our theater department as we proudly present "George Washington Slept Here"! Synopsis: Newton Fuller fulfills a lifetime ambition: to own his very own home in the country. He drags his family out to their own personal "Green Acres," to set up homesteading in a wreck of a house. But with a little bit of faith and a lot of guts, maybe they can make this house into a home. Will they flip the house or just flip out?
Just a reminder that all Jump Rope for Heart sheets need to be turned in by this Friday to be tallied!
