3rd Quarter 2013 Satch Grants

Newberry High School -- Thespian Troupe 5901  Awarded $500

Recent budget cuts in the arts programs at Newberry High School forced Newberry to look art, drama, TV production and most of its music classes. This $500 Satch Grant directly supports the Newberry HS theater troupe so they can attend District and State competitions. In the past 6 years, the troupe placed No. 1 and 2 in the District for acting, singing, play writing and costume.  In the past 5 years, the group placed FIRST and SECOND in the STATE for the same categories. It is our pleasure to help this dedicated and proud team. Go Panthers!

  1. The issues involvingnewberry independent livinghas been a popular topic amongst scholars for many years. At first glance newberry independent living may seem unenchanting, however its study is a necessity for any one wishing to intellectually advance beyond their childhood. Until recently considered taboo amongst polite society, several of todays most brilliant minds seem incapable of recognising its increasing relevance to understanding future generations.
