As the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, who will stand for the vulnerable if not Robin? What is the cost of revealing your true self in a time of trouble? Modern concerns and romantic entanglements clash on the battlefield and on the ramparts of Nottingham Castle. A play about selfishness and selflessness and love deferred and the fight. Always the fight. The fight must go on. Our theater host will meet you inside Woodbury High School’s main south entrance near a sign that says "Community Bridge Meets Here". Please arrive by 6:45 p.m. to get your ticket and find a seat. Show begins at 7:00 p.m. and runs approx. 2 hours. NOTE: A limited number of wheelchair spaces are available. Please indicate if needed during registration. Staff pay for ticket price as well.<em> Gretchen Carlson/Angela Schak</em></p>Paint & Soda Siphttp://isd622.ce.eleyo.com/course/11538/winter-spring-2024/paint-soda-sip2023-12-01T00:00:00-06:00<p>The bees are back from their slumber to forage!

He loved life, was always ready to try something new and never let limitations get in his way.</p><p>Chris was a dedicated Community Bridge participant for over 25 years; he had some great experiences with Community Bridge, and made many lasting friendships through the Bridge. He also had great friends at NE Metro 916 and at Hastings Lifeworks.</p><p>Chris was in his element while working on projects with Dad or Bob (he loved to work!), and he especially enjoyed family time with Sam and Theresa. Bowling, softball, adapted sports, dancing, art and special time with friends were some of his favorite activities. He also treasured time in his Lego room with the "guys" and disco lights, relaxing and listening to music. He LOVED wild socks and was a huge WWE wrestling fan.</p>Chris Runtsch Memorialhttp://isd622.ce.eleyo.com/course/11356/fall-23/chris-runtsch-memorial2023-07-01T00:00:00-05:00<p>Donations in memory of Chris Runtsch</p>
