Boston Latin School is moving on to the Semifinals of Massachusetts High School Drama Festival! My Love Lies Frozen by Dead Rabbits Theatre is a piece about a trio of explorers trying to reach the North Pole in a hot air balloon and the woman who has a mental break when they don’t come back. It’s a beautiful 40 minute piece about the determination of the human spirit and the power of love. The right mix of hilarious and heartbreaking.

At the preliminary round we received All Star Company awards for acting for all four of our leads, for technical direction, and dramaturgy.

We will have encore school based performances on

• Thursday March 12 at 3pm and 7pm
• Friday March 13 at 3pm

Tickets available at our.show/lovelies or at the door.

Additionally we will be competing on March 14 at 9:30am at Marshfield High School for the Semifinals. Tickets will be available at metg.org shortly.

March is Best Buddies Month, and the beginning of the Spread the Word Campaign, in which people pledge to stop using the historically ableist R-slur and to instead spread the word “inclusion.” BLS Best Buddies will be holding a pledge event between March 9th–11th; come sign our banner during lunch to commit to spreading inclusion.

Our award-winning arts journal, The Register, is now accepting original artwork and writing for the spring issue! Submissions from students in grades 7-12 are accepted via the portal on SIS. The deadline for submissions is April 6.

Please note that The Register will no longer publish works by anonymous authors or artists.

This month, the class of 2027 committee will host a bracket-style fundraiser to raise funds for our Junior Prom! This week, we are raising funds to choose a faculty member who will perform a special choreographed routine with a member of the committee. On Monday (3/2), Wednesday (3/4), and Thursday (3/5), committee members will be outside the dining hall during all three lunches with jars dedicated to the competing faculty.

Congratulations to Mr. Fogel and Mr. Gallagher for being our two finalists! To decide who will perform the special routine with us, we are asking our school community to donate. Whether it’s a dollar or fifty cents, every penny counts!

On Wednesday March 4 during the W-Block, Student Council will host the next Town Hall meeting in the Library Fiction Room. A panel of upperclass students will offer information about popular AP classes, such as course content, projects, and AP exam preparation. With course selection upon us, students are welcome to attend , listen, and ask questions so they can make informed decisions about their course selections.
