Last Performance TONIGHT at 7pm!
Following the closing arguments in a murder trial, the 12 members of the jury must deliberate, with a guilty verdict meaning death for the accused, an inner-city teen. As the dozen jurors try to reach a unanimous decision while sequestered in a room, one juror casts considerable doubt on elements of the case. Personal issues soon rise to the surface, and conflict threatens to derail the delicate process that will decide one boy's fate.

On Tuesday, October 29th, the Senior Humanities Seminar visited the Charles D. Tandy Archaeological Museum located on the campus of Southwestern Baptist Seminary. They were provided a tour of the museum by Mr. Carpenter, our Ancient Civilizations instructor and doctoral student in archaeology at the Seminary. The students were able to explore questions such as how culture is expressed through material evidence found in the ancient world, and how the interaction of cultures can be identified through objects.

The Spelling Bee is Coming!
That time of year is here again -- time for the Scripps National Spelling Bee and for the Great CLPS Spellcheck.
Scripps National Spelling Bee:
All students enrolled in English are required to participate in the class spelling bees on Wednesday/Thursday, November 13,14,15. Students not enrolled in English may participate if they want -- just let your teacher know. Bees will be conducted during English class beginning at 10:00 AM.
Parent volunteers are needed to help monitor the bees. Each parent would be in a room where they do not have a student. Please let your student's teacher know if you are available.
The top two winners from each elementary class progress to the elementary school spelling bee. The two winners from each seventh and eighth grade classes will participate in the junior high school bee. Both will be held on a Friday in December or January (exact date TBD). The winner in the elementary grades and the winner in the junior high then go to the area bee in February. The next level is the regional bee and then Washington, D.C.!
Great CLPS Spellcheck:
The Great CLPS Spellcheck is a fundraiser conducted along with the spelling bee. Students work to get pledges for each each word he spells correctly on a 50 word test given in English class (date TBD). The 50 words are taken from the class spelling bee list so as the student studies for the spelling bee, he is also studying for the Great CLPS Spellcheck. The Spellcheck is optional for all students, but it is a low pressure, educational way to raise funds for our school, and all of the funds stay at the school!
Thank you for your support!

Youth and Government National Conference
CLPS's Trial Court team, headed by recent CLPS graduates Grayson Winchester and Annalisa Cheek, had the privilege of being the first CLPS Trial Court team to qualify for the YMCA Youth and Government National Judicial Competition held in Chicago this past July 29-August 1. The team competed against Trial Court Teams from all across the country. They went against some of the strongest teams in the competition, ultimately placing 5th out of all the National teams. In addition, Grayson Winchester was selected as one of the top Trial Court Attorneys and Joel Dakwar was selected as one of the top witnesses.
After qualifying as a top Justice during the State completion last January, Graham Wolfe was selected as one of the first Student Justices to preside over the Appellate Section.

Lost and Found
If you're student is missing an item, there is a good chance we have it. Please check the lost and found on the racks in the auditorium at your earliest convenience. We already have enough stuff after two weeks to open our own eBay store. At the end of the semester we give it all to Neighborhood Needs.

England Mission Trip Recap
Thank you to everyone who supported the Mission Trip to England! We took a team of 17, and had excellent feedback from the church that hosted us. We served in two different schools throughout the week doing sports camps and sharing Bible stories. It was pretty amazing that we were allowed to share Bible stories in a public school! We also served the pastor and community of St. Mary's church in Norton. If you want to learn more about the trip, or you are a 10th-12th Grade student who might want to go in 2020, click here. Below is a slideshow of our trip in June 2019. We are so proud of our students! They represented Christ and CLPS very well.
