Dutch Weekly September 21 - 27

Get tickets for 'The Bugs'

When a couple of disgruntled honeybees discover their habitat is going to be destroyed to make way for a swimming pool, there’s only one thing for them to do: forge an alliance with the other bugs who live in the yard and stop it. With the help of a swashbuckling cockroach, a pessimistic pill bug, a cicada who loves to party, and a couple of smitten fireflies, can the honeybees do the impossible and ruin human construction plans? Or will they have to resort to asking their ancient enemies, the spiders, for help? What can a group of bugs actually do when their ecosystem is threatened? A hilarious satire about ecological disaster and labor issues, with a smattering of Greek gods thrown in for fun.

When: September 26, 27, 28 at 7 p.m.
Where: Newman Studio Theatre of the Walter Arts Center
Tickets: $10 Adults and $7 Students

UPPER SCHOOL

HH hosts Student Council district conference

On Sept. 25, Holland Hall will proudly host the Oklahoma Association of Student Councils District 7 Fall Conference. Over 600 Student Council members from across the Tulsa area will gather at Holland Hall to explore leadership and service. The theme for this year’s conference, selected by the Upper School Student Council, is "To Lead is to Serve." Holland Hall alumnus Chris Gates will be a featured guest speaker, sharing his journey and unique perspective on leadership.

Due to the anticipated high volume of traffic and limited parking, we ask that Upper School students carpool on this day. Students can park at the Fresh Market parking lot and carpool to school. Please ensure your student leaves earlier that morning to arrive on time.

The Upper School Student Council has worked diligently to organize this event and is honored to host such an important gathering. Should you have any questions, please contact Leah Beakey at lbeakey25@hollandhall.org or Phillipa Kelly at pkelly@hollandhall.org.
