I am going to get off of the subject for someone who I believe truely needs our help. Please read the following:
Message sent out by Mr. Kickaefer via Facebook – “Folks, I’m
not gonna lie. As of Friday, we’re going
to be about $15,000 behind and late in our payments to the American High School
Theatre Festival. We really need your
help. If all of my Facebook friends (and
their friends) could send $10, $5 or even $1 to Highland Park Theatre, 2424 SE
California Ave. 66604, we could make our ultimate goal of $100,000! Please,
please help if you can!
AHSTF has selected 51 out of thousands of nominations across
North America to attend and perform at the Edinburgh Arts festival, arguably
the most prestigious arts festival in the world. This is an achievement for not just Topeka,
as this is the first time a school from Topeka has been chose, but for KS
because this is only the second time a school in KS has been chosen despite
numerous nominations.”
I know this is an legitimate plea. Mr. Kickaefer was our Stage Craft teacher at
Topeka High School. He is such a
dedicated and passionate instructor that he is difficult to forget. He has never asked for help from his former
students before, and I know he wouldn’t unless he truly thought we could make a
difference in the lives of his students.
Which I might add, Highland Park is a school that is desperate for help
and often forgotten by the rest of the town.
Why not show these kids that they count too and Topeka as a whole is
proud to send them to this festival and possibly give them a chance for so much
more in life.
Please consider helping.
I am going to send what I can, I hope you do too.
Highland Park Theatre
