Unicoi Co Schools

Director of Schools, Denise H. Brown, announces pre-registration for students entering Kindergarten in the Fall of 2012.  Pre-registration is extremely important for planning your child’s educational program for the 2012-2013 school year.  PLEASE BRING YOUR CHILD WITH YOU ON THE DAY OF PRE-REGISTRATION. Each child will be screened for kindergarten readiness, including speech.  This will allow school personnel to be aware of any need that will require special services. The screening process will take approximately thirty (30) minutes.

The Unicoi County High School Drama Department will perform Disney’s The Jungle Book on Thursday, November 3, 2011 and Saturday, November 5, 2011 at 7:00pm in the UCHS auditorium. The Jungle Book combines costumed human performers and innovative puppetry. The show follows the story of the man-child, Mowgli, Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther, as they are threatened by wily snake Kha, and the fierce Bengal tiger, Shere Kahn. Comedic relief is provided by Colonel Hathi and his herd of elephants, King Louie and his hep-cat monkeys and, of course, the boisterous Baloo, with his unforgettable bouncing rendition of “Bare Necessities”.

Other musical highlights include “I Want to be Like You”, “Trust in Me”, and “That’s What Friends are For”. Tickets are $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for students and will be available at the door.

Doors open at 6:45pm.
