Everything’s Groovy at Lathrop High

“Everything’s Groovy” is a one- hour mini-musical tribute to the 1960s being staged as Lathrop High’s first musical.

It runs in the Lathrop High School Theatre tonight and Saturday. The show begins at 7 o’clock each evening. Tickets can be purchased at the box office, which will open at 6:30 each evening.  They can also be purchased in advance from Mrs. Puett at Lathrop High School.
 Tickets prices are $5 for general admission and $3 for senior citizens or students with an ID card.

Travis, Muriel, and Alice work to make their free concert – “Music, Beads, and Flowers” – happen.  Life gets difficult for them when Mrs. Porter along with the sheriff try to prevent the concert from running. Throw in some trouble with the Lemon Bugs and a mad dog running around and the show might be over before the first note is sung.

 The musical stars Nickolas Riker as Travis, Megan Shelton as Muriel, and Shauna Hinson as Alice.  The play just would not be the same without other interesting characters such as Iris, Hippie Girl with Flute, Swashbuckler and Tony.

“Measure M” oversight  committee openings
Manteca Unified School District is currently seeking interested parents/individuals to fill three vacant committee seats which will become open in June.

Measure M is a General Obligation Bond approved by the voters within the Manteca Unified School District area in the General Election of March 2, 2004. As required by law the Manteca USD Board of Trustees established and appointed a citizens’ oversight committee. The purpose of the committee is to “inform the public at least annually in a written report, concerning the expenditure of the Measure M Bond proceeds.” Committee members, who are volunteers from the community, are appointed by the Board of Trustees to serve a term of two years.

The Measure M Citizens’ Oversight Committee meets on a quarterly basis on the second Wednesday of the month (September, December, March & June) at 6 p.m. in the Manteca USD Boardroom.
