Here is what’s going on in the Elk Grove Unified School District during October 17-22: October 18: Charles Mack Elementary School students will enjoy a Jump Rope assembly led by professional jump rope performer and teacher Jill Strong from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Strong travels all over the world teaching students and teachers how to do different jump rope skills and performs for the students at the end of the demo. Students are chosen from the audience to help demonstrate skills as well. October 18: Parents of seniors at Cosumnes Oaks High School are invited to attend a Senior Parent Information Night from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Parents will receive information about graduation policies, events and timelines as well as have the opportunity to purchase caps and gowns for their seniors. October 20: Parents of students at Pleasant Grove High School are invited to attend “Take Your Parents to School Day” from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. This free event for parents includes a continental breakfast; orientation activity; entertainment; and opportunities to attend classes and participate in lunchtime activities and workshops. October 20: The Maeola Beitzel Elementary School Honor Society will hold their October Fest activity from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Beitzel’s honor students in grades 4-6 are working with teacher coordinators Toni Yazel and Erika Scott on this event as a community service project to support the Beitzel PTO and school needs. Students have organized over 20 booths with games and food, and partnered with EGUSD’s Food and Nutrition Services Department to host a Farmer’s Market at this event. October 20-22: The Wolfpack Theater students of Cosumnes Oaks High School will present their rendition of William Shakespeare’s “Comedy of Errors.” Showtimes start at 6 p.m. on October 20 and 7 p.m. on October 21-22. The play tells the story of Egeon, a merchant of Syracuse, who is condemned to death in Ephesus for violating the ban against travel between the two rival cities. As he is led to his execution, he tells the Ephesian Duke, Solinus, that he has come to Syracuse in search of his wife and one of his twin sons, who were separated from him 25 years ago in a shipwreck. The Duke is so moved by this story that he grants Egeon a day to raise the thousand-mark ransom that would be necessary to save his life. Tickets are $8 for general admission and $6 for seniors, children under 10 and COHS students with an ASB card.
