Caring Kids

Students collected and donated over 3,300 gently used children’s books for the hospital’s Reach Out and Read program.

The books will be used in the pediatric waiting rooms and exam rooms for families to enjoy while waiting to see the doctor and also on the lending “Book Cart.”

Tickets On Sale

Kenston Center Stage is pleased to present “Damn Yankees” written by George Abbott and Douglas Wallup on April 15 and 16 at 7 p.m. and April 17 at 2 p.m. in the Kenston High School auditorium.

The story revolves around Joe Boyd, the number one fan of the Washington Senators baseball team. Mr. Applegate gives Joe the opportunity to recapture his youth and become the “one good long ball hitter” the Senators need to beat their much hated rivals and finally win the pennant. There’s just one problem. He must sell his soul to “you-know-who” and soon finds out the deal comes with unanticipated consequences.

All tickets are reserved and cost $16, mezzanine; $14, floor; and $10, balcony seats. Tickets may be purchased through the Kenston High School website.

Fine Arts Showcase

Kenston Local Schools will host the inaugural Fine Arts Showcase on April 24 in the high school auditorium and gymnasium. The showcase will feature the District Art Show and music performances by bands and choruses from both the middle and high schools.

Music performances begin at 1 p.m. and conclude at 9 p.m., alternating between the Robert A. Lee Auditorium and the high school gymnasium throughout the day and evening. The showcase will also feature the annual Kenston art show exhibiting works from students in grades K-12. Four featured concerts will include middle school band spring concert, middle school choral spring concert, high school band pops concert and the high school choral spring concert.
