Alpine High School is a school lacking a theater program or even a theater class and is the only school to enter the competition without an actual theater program. Yet, students interested in the arts and theater have managed to bring this to fruition despite these challenges, as they embark upon UIL One Act Play with the help of their advisor who financed the advertising for the group.

Members of the cast of the One Act Play pose in one of their warm-up exercises prior to practice. Pictured are Izabel Ortiz, Raul Renteria, Ayleen Adame-Ramirez, Kalavati Caulfield, Zoe Arredondo, Naylana Smith, Andrea Johnson, Alyssa Mitchell, Alyssa Barron, LauraLai Bates, and Taryn Klockman.

Lenten Fasting

2 years ago By News Staff

We are in the season of Lent. This is the time of year when we Christians move to selfrefl ect on the who, what, where, when, and why we have not loved God and our neighbors like Jesus has asked us to. It is a time of year when we repent or turn toward God. It is a time of year that is often associated with “giving something up” that we know is not really good for us, or to pray and fast in order to turn more fully to God and to prepare for the celebration of Easter after these 40 days of Lent.
