Dear 2008 Rites of May volunteers:

To each of our wonderful parent, teacher and staff volunteers we would like to extend our sincere thank you. Lab has been celebrating the Rites of May in some form for over 40 years. It is a tradition that brings together the whole the school, acknowledges the incredible High School Theater Program, and celebrates our ethnic diversity. This year’s Rites of May can only be called a HUGE SUCCESS — from the incredible performance of Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream to the fun activities to the delicious cuisine to the wonderful International Booths to the rocking Entertainment put on primarily by Lab students; and of course the games and inflatables on Saturday; the festival was enjoyed by all.

Without all of you, the Saturday portion of the event would never be possible. We’d like to give an extra big thanks to those of you who came early to help set up and pick-up food, stayed late to help clean-up and to those who worked
Double-duty at the games offering more hours than your original shift called for. Thank you to Carla Young, who once again coordinated the three-day event. We would also like to extend a huge, heartfelt thank you to Tony Wilson. Tony put in 12 hours that day, arranged all of the parking, held off Com-Ed, and was at the beck and call of us three novice co-chairs (who happened to be carrying around walkie talkies).

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to all of you.

Peri Altan, Catherine Beard, and Lauren Polite
