The three time Idaho

State Drama champions,

Coeur d’Alene High

School Theatre Depart-

ment, is proud to produce

The Giver, based on the

award-winning book by

Lois Lowry,

“Jonas has been selected

to be our next Receiver of

Memory. Such an experi-

ence is very, very rare…

you will be faced now

with pain of a magnitude

that none of us here can

comprehend because it’s

beyond our experience.”

Chance McWilliams illu-

minates the stage in the

role of Jonas, a young

man soon to become The

Giver. At the age of 12,

Jonas is forced to grow up

when he is given the as-

signment of Receiver of

Memory by the Chief El-

der (Ella Jacoby). He will

now hold the weight of

the world’s mysteries,

memories, and problems.

Meanwhile, Jonas’ friends

Fiona and Asher, played

by Autumn Plucker and

Blake Presnell, along

with his family, Mother

(Bethany Stone, previous-

ly seen as Elizabeth

Moore in 7th Generation:

A Christmas Carol), Fa-

ther (Justin Clarke, pre-

viously seen as Justin

Cratchet in 7th Genera-

tion: A Christmas Carol),

and little sister Lily

(Jenna Whitfield) are left

in a mess of confusion as

they see Jonas face the

changes that being the

new receiver brings.

Chase Von Chaaf stars as

The Giver, a man who

wants one simple thing:

to give.

With the new knowledge

that he has been given,

Jonas sets out to change

the current ways of his

world. “It’s not fair that

nothing has color. If eve-

rything’s the same, then

there aren’t any choices! I

want to wake up in the

morning and decide

things!” Through this

astonishing and moving

adaptation, discover what

it means to grow up, to

grow wise, and to take

control of your own desti-

ny.

There is no war or fear or

pain. There are also no

choices. Every person is

assigned a role in the

community. But when

Jonas turns 12, he is cho-

sen for special training

from The Giver—to re-

ceive and keep the memo-

ries of the community.

The Giver is the only per-

son who holds the memo-

ries of real pain and real

joy. Now Jonas will learn

the truth about life—and

the hypocrisy of his utopi-

an world. Through this

astonishing and moving

adaptation, discover what

it means to grow up, to

grow wise, and to take

control of your own desti-

ny.

The show runs at 7 p.m.

on October 23, 24 and 28,

29, 30 in the Coeur

d’Alene High School

Fahringer Auditorium.

Located at 5530 N.

Fourth Street, Coeur

d’Alene. Tickets are $7/

adults, $6/students and

seniors, and $5 for CHS

students with an ASB

card. Tickets can be pur-

chased at

www.chstheater.org, or

2999. Tickets will also be

A Message from the Attendance Office……………………..

PAGE 2 VOLUME 2 ISSUE 1

We have been experiencing a large increase of parents calling the school wishing to pick up or release their students from school

throughout the day as well the last ½ hour of school. These requests cause a continual interruption to the classroom and instruc-

tional time.

You can help us by:

**Sending your student to school

with a note in the morning, when

they have an appointment during

the day. This way they can be giv-

en a campus pass, in the morning,

to leave at the requested time. The

note must have students full name,

time to be excused, purpose of ab-

sence, date and parent signature.

** Scheduling your pickup times

during passing periods. See Daily

Bell Schedule.

**Please note: Students who

leave the campus without pri-

or approval will NOT be ex-

cused and marked as truant.

Thank you for your support!
