ANNIE (Chanhassen Dinner Theatre)Adult TripsHighway 12 Adult Day Trip: Chanhassen Dinner Theatre Wednesday, November 11, 2026 Annie is a beloved, high-energy musical set in New York City during the Great Depression. The story follows Annie, a spirited and optimistic orphan who dreams of finding her parents and believes that “the sun will come out tomorrow,” no matter how tough life gets. Living in a harsh orphanage run by the bitter Miss Hannigan, Annie’s luck changes when she is chosen to spend the holidays with billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Her bravery and honesty quickly win over Warbucks and his secretary, Grace Farrell. When Warbucks offers a reward to find Annie’s parents, greedy schemers—including Miss Hannigan—hatch a plan to take advantage of the situation. Filled with memorable songs like “Tomorrow,” “It’s the Hard-Knock Life,” and “Maybe,” Annie is a heartwarming tale of hope, family, and resilience. With its strong message, lovable characters, and upbeat music, the musical continues to charm audiences of all ages. This trip includes motor coach transportation, a ticket to the show, and lunch (drinks included are water, coffee, & milk). Gratuity is included for the meal.

FullEarly Childhood Screening May 7, 2026ECFE Classes & ScreeningEarly Childhood Screening: Litchfield School District offers FREE screening to families of children 3-5 years old. Scoring is based on the child's age at the time of screening. If your child has not been screened and will be attending preschool, they need to be screened prior or shortly after starting, but will not be prohibited from registering. Screening includes vision, hearing, height, weight, speech, language, large and small motor skills, as well as social and emotional development. Immediately following your child's screening, there will be a discussion time where you review the results and can ask questions. Screening supports children's readiness for kindergarten and promotes health and development. Your child will have the chance to participate in activities that show how they are developing. The activities are designed to be fun and familiar. Activities will include things like building with blocks and drawing shapes. You will receive a postcard around the time your child is 3.5 years old. If you haven't received information on screening, are new to the district, or have moved, contact Community Education to update your information. We ask that only one adult comes with the child to the screening appointment. Appointments take approximately 60 minutes. Please enter using Door 10 which is on the North side of the Wagner Education Building.Winter.Spring 2026 -
