The Student Representative Council (SRC) for the Weyburn Comprehensive School will host, for the first time ever, a semi-formal banquet and dance on Friday, Dec. 17. The event is called X-mas Stars, and will start with a turkey supper at 6:15 p.m., followed by a dance at 8:30 p.m.

Students are invited to attend either or both events. Tickets cost $15 for the banquet and dance, but must be picked up ahead of time. Tickets for the dance will be available at the door.

Around 800 spectators took in the two performances of the production, Home for the Holidays on Dec. 7 and 9. Over 200 students were involved in the Christmas show, and the Hallelujah Chorus at the conclusion went over well. The STARS Show Choir will perform at the Inter-Agency Luncheon today, Dec. 15.

Report cards will go out on Thursday, Dec. 16. A Christmas assembly will be held for students and staff on the last day of school, Wednesday, Dec. 22.
