It is an honor to work at Mundelein High School and I am thankful for the opportunity to serve this community. Happy Thanksgiving! (The will not be a Mustang News next week!)

Recognition
Battle of the Bard
On Monday evening, members of Mundelein Theatre’s Battle of the Bard team had the opportunity to perform on stage, in front of a full house, at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre on Navy Pier. Battle of the Bard is a Shakespeare Slam sponsored by Chicago Shakespeare and Chicago Youth Shakespeare. Forty teams from the Chicago area competed in three different preliminary rounds, with nine teams advancing to perform at Chicago Shakes. A bus load of students and parents traveled to Navy Pier to root on the team. Niles North High School was the eventual winner, but our BOTB team performed flawlessly and had an experience they will not soon forget. Team members were Emily Saunders, Joshua Saunders, Kayla Raye, Brianna Moderhack, Dominic Cappuccilli, Maddie Martorana, Jasmine Cuasay and Natalie Williams. Dan Haller was the Student Director. Mark Landuyt and Jonathan Meier were the Faculty Coaches.
