DeLaSalle is starting a Mock Trial team this year, and we are looking for attorneys to help coach the team. Commitment can be as little as one hour a week, before or after school. The season runs from mid-October through January. Work with students on creating opening or closing statements, direct and cross examinations as well as learning the Mock Trial rules of evidence. Our students are very excited about this opportunity but we need a few extra “legal” hands to help us out! Please come and share your knowledge and experience. If you are interested, please contact the teacher coach of the Mock Trial team, Sheri Hank. Thank you!

Please email Ms. Hodapp if you are interested in attending the play “Freedom Daze” tomorrow with a group from DeLaSalle. The play – presented by Exposed Brick Theatre and Intermedia Arts – tells the story of two girls who meet at a dinner party in Zambia in 1974. One girl would be sentenced to a life in solitary confinement, the other would become an artist diving into her story. Freedom Daze is a journey through the media maze of (mis)information, indoctrination and the creation of an enemy class of “them.” Through a multi-media approach, this performance addresses the United States’ media misrepresentation of the Middle East and persons of Arab, Muslim or Middle Eastern backgrounds.
The play will be performed at Intermedia Arts, 2822 Lyndale Ave. S. in Minneapolis at 7:30pm October 1-3. For Tickets: call 612-871-4444 or visit www.intermediaarts.org
