The Class of 2008 will be selling stadium seats, with a special discount 
for members of the Senior Class. $20 will buy the best seat in the house 
(or at least a comfortable one) that can be used at graduation. The 
regular price is $25, so seniors should grab theirs today! Look for 
2008ers selling seats during the *first week in June, and at Middlesex 
Savings Bank on Saturday, June 3*.

+++++*CABARET AT CCHS*++++

On *Saturday, June 3*, there will be a student run Cabaret in the CCHS

and perform in a relaxed setting. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for 
students. Refreshments will be served. More information will be 
available soon on *ccpops.org <http://www.ccpops.org>*.

+++++*CCPOPS NEW YORK TRIP*+++++

CCPOPS would like to organize the Fourth Annual New York City trip over 
Columbus Day weekend (*October 7 and 8, 2006*). As in the past, the trip 
would leave early Saturday morning by motor coach and return late Sunday 
evening. Students will see two shows and have time to explore museums 
and other NYC attractions. There will be room for 48 students and 7 
faculty and parent chaperones will accompany them. In order to make 
plans to go forward with the trip we need to get firm commitments from 
at least 32 students by June 12. The cost will depend on the number of 
students and the shows that are available--in the past it has been $400 
or less (bus, hotel, 2 shows, dinner Saturday, and breakfast Sunday). If 
your child would like to participate, please send a check for $100, 
payable to CCPOPS. Mail it to: Prisl Dumka, PO Box 84, Carlisle MA 
01741. If you have questions, 
*please contact Diane Payne, 978-287-5031 or president at ccpops.org
