Campus High School Working To Offer IB Program

From Kansas.com

Campus High School in Haysville is on its way to becoming the second school in the Wichita area to offer the prestigious International Baccalaureate diploma.

The school, at 55th South and Meridian, is in the final stages of certification to become an IB school. It hopes to enroll its first class of 30 to 40 juniors into the advanced college preparatory program in the fall of 2013.

Joe Sailors, an assistant principal at Campus and coordinator designee for the program, said it could have a “huge impact” on the school and district, and not just for the students enrolled in the program.

Local Girl Performing In Seussical

Haysville resident Kathy Dasis (pictured) will be performing in Music Theatre for Young People’s musical SEUSSICAL on April 27-29 at Century II.

Now one of the most performed shows in America, “Seussical” is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (“Ragtime,” “Once On This Island”) have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie, and a little boy with a big imagination–Jojo. “Oh, the Thinks You Can Think” captures the show’s spirit of imagination, as the colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos. The story centers around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge–not only must he protect his tiny friend Jojo (and all the invisible Whos) from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him, the only one who recognizes “his kind and his powerful heart.” Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant, in a story that makes you laugh and cry.
