Scrap Metal Drive - September 13-23 at Vic High!

From September 13-23 we're holding a scrap metal fundraiser at the Vic High for the improv club. Our overall fundraising goal is to raise at least $10,000 to help get a group of up to 16 students to the Berlin Improv Festival in March 2014.

The trip itself (return airfare, accommodations, local transportation, festival workshops, festival pass for 15 students) will cost just over $32,000 - so anything we raise will help reduce the per student cost.

Drop off times at the school (back of the school in the metal recycling bin, off Gladstone) are:

Saturday, September 14, Noon to 3pm
Sunday, September 15, Noon to 3pm
Wednesday, September 18, 5 to 6pm
Saturday, September 21, Noon to 3pm
Sunday, September 22, Noon to 3pm
Monday, September 23,5 to 6 pm

Christmas Tree Chipping Fundraiser a success!

We are very excited to have been invited to attend the Berlin Improv Festival in March 2014! This will be the first time ever in the festival’s 13 year history where they have hosted a high school improv group and we’re excited to be part of this unique event! Over their 10 day stay in Berlin, our students will participate in 4 days of workshops from two different instructors (not from the US or Canada) and will perform for a local school audience at the end. They also will be enjoying the festival performances and taking time to visit the historic city of Berlin itself. For a group of 16 students, the total cost is $32,000 CDN which includes their return airfare, ground transportation, accommodations, workshops and access to the festival. Our goal is to raise at least $10,000 to help reduce the per student cost to approximately $1,600. We spent this past weekend (January 4-5, 2014) collecting Christmas Trees as a fundraiser for the trip. Day #2 Crew: Conall, Fletcher, Jac
