Approximately 70 middle & high school students are involved in cast, crew and pit for Les Misérables, a multi-award-winning musical based on Victor Hugo’s novel. Epic, grand and uplifting, it is as groundbreaking today as it was when it first premiered thirty-five years ago. Les Misérables School Edition has been abridged to a shorter run time while still beautifully maintaining the integrity of the show. It also includes updated orchestrations based on the Tony-nominated 2014 Broadway revival show. Les Misérables is an emotional packed musical masterpiece that has thrilled audiences all over the world. The entirely sung-through piece is ideal for a cast of exceptional singers and overflows with melodies that are already standards. Our protagonist Jean Valjean is released from years of unjust imprisonment, but finds nothing in store for him but mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a lifelong struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe Valjean can change his ways. During the Paris student uprising of 1832, Javert must confront his ideals after Valjean spares his life and saves that of the student revolutionary who has captured the heart of Valjean's adopted daughter, Cosette. Les Misérables is truly a classic! - Mrs. Tamer 2. NEW ARTICLE: "PMEA" by Isaac Kott

From CNN: Joe Biden dominated across the South on Tuesday and scored a dramatic upset victory in Texas while surprising in Minnesota and Massachusetts, roaring into contention in a Democratic presidential primary that increasingly looks like a two-way race between the former vice president and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Across the map, a Biden coalition is emerging: African Americans, older voters and white suburbanites are backing him in overwhelming numbers. Monday's endorsements of former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar -- both of whom had appealed to Democrats in the suburbs -- appeared to translate directly into votes from their supporters. In state after state, exit polls showed that Biden won overwhelmingly among voters who made their minds up in the last few days.

LUNCH TALKDonald Trump’s Speech on Saturday made numerous claims on topics ranging from impeachment to the economy. The first one was about Hillary Clinton and Russia. During the 2016 press conference, this statement was mentioned: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.” During this years CPAC speech, Trump mocks the people for blowing this statement out of proportion due to the fact that his joke was cut off and was never finished. When Trump first made this comment, it was neither cut off and he said it with such a serious expression. The next topic brought up in Donald Trump’s speech was food stamps.
