December Coffeehouse Cancelled
Jesuit’s annual Christmas-themed Coffeehouse has been canceled for this year. Senior Danny Murphy made the call on Tuesday and it was announced to the school during 6th period announcements.
The decision was made due to scheduling conflicts and a lack of space. Placement testing occurs this Friday until 6:30 in the Gedrose Student center and the Black Box will be unavailable due to rehearsals for the Freshman Ensemble.
“In short, Jesuit over-scheduled itself,” Murphy said.
“Additionally, several members of Coffeehouse committee are involved in the production of Freshman Ensemble, meaning it would have been impossible for them to help us set up.”
The Christmas Coffeehouse takes place on the first Friday of every December due to the December Co-ed Encounter and the start of winter break. Therefore, the next opportunity for a coffeehouse won’t be until March, right before spring break.
Students who signed up to perform Friday will be given priority to perform in the next two Coffeehouses.
The next Coffeehouse will be on the last Friday before Spring Break.
Jayla Lowery is a current senior at Jesuit High School. She enjoys biking, reading, swimming, music, daydreaming, watching movies, and writing mediocre short stories and screenplays. Journalism has always interested her and she is excited to learn and write articles for the first time. She is really hoping to write pages focused on social issues and pop culture. She believes these topics deeply connect into Jesuit High School’s environment and culture and is interested in exploring the impacts of those subjects on Jesuit further. Jayla also hopes to write about music and movies and interview the many diverse and unique members of the Jesuit community. She is hoping to hear the perspectives and stories of people from all walks of life that make up the greater Jesuit High School community. She can’t wait to meet and talk to people she would usually never get the opportunity to! Jayla is hoping to studying screenwriting in college and hopes journalism will help her improve her writing skills and also help introduce her up to a new form of writing. She hopes she isn’t too nosy of a journalist and that this year is a very fun and exciting one and can hardly wait to get started!
