This month, Reavis is celebrating the reasons we're lucky to be Rams by displaying the names of all 2,148 students and staff members on shamrocks outside the student cafeteria. Students who find a gold coin sticker on their shamrock can visit the Guidance office for a special St. Patrick's Day treat.
The Reavis Contest Play & Group Interpretation each took home the CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP last weekend with their "Best of Fest" designations. Additionally, the Crew won the “Tech-cellence” award for their lights, sound, and ability to effectively set-up and take down the entire set safely, quickly, and collaboratively.
Every cast member in both the Contest Play and the Group Interp were named to the SSC All-Conference Cast. In Contest Play: Jorge Burciaga , Ruby Corral, Laura Galindo, Julia Rivera, & Justin Zavala. In Group Interp: Joshuammi Arrocha, Charlize Burciaga, Rosandy Garcia Gonzalez, Kaylie Gilbert, Max Haines, Ava Komperda, Madison Mittler, Shawn Saldivar, Layla Tieri, Fiona Turner, Nick Vana.
Congratulations to Head Coach Mr. Anastasopoulos who directs with both shows and heads up the tech, Contest Play directors Dr. Banick & Mr. Catalano, and Group Interp director Mr. Brumirski. Best of luck to both shows as they head into the IHSA Sectional this Saturday!

Reavis hosted the area IHSA Solo & Ensemble competition last Saturday, where our students’ musical talents shined bright.
Reavis competitors had the highest point total of all SSC schools; state-wide, they placed 7th in vocal events, 4th in band events, and 7th overall.
Additionally, Reavis competitors were named Best of Day in two events. This is a distinct honor: Only 30 performances out of the 975 that took place can earn this designation. Special congratulations go to Natalie Phillips, Charlize Burciaga, and Justin Zavala (event: Vocal Trio) performing "I Want To Be Ready" by Rosephanye Powell AND Justin Zavala performing "Movin' Too Fast" from The Last Five Years (event: Vocal Musical Theatre Solo).
Kudos to Andy Davis and Brandon Faust, whose work with these students each day makes all the difference!
