THE DIGEST

A Clever Closet Cleanout 👚

The Saugus High Marching Centurions are about to solve two problems at once: your overflowing closet and their empty band fund. This Saturday, they're collecting everything from that shirt you've been telling yourself you’ll sell on Poshmark to your towels that have seen WAY better days.

It's not just spring cleaning in August — it's your chance to support local talent while decluttering your space.

Can't part with your stuff? Cash works too. They're not picky 😉 

Swing by Saugus High on Saturday. Your old jeans might just fund the next award-winning performance.

Hart District's Leadership Shakeup 🏫

The Hart District is keeping things interesting this Wednesday. They're appointing new principals for both high school and junior high, and that's just the opening act. Charter renewals and teacher negotiations are also on the docket.

Want in on the action? Show up in person or catch the livestream. Just remember, virtual attendees: pants are still a good idea.

Hollywood's Favorite Chameleon 🎬

Ladies and gentlemen, SCV is ready for its close-up. Again. This week, we're playing host to five productions, transforming our humble streets into everything from gritty crime scenes to... well, streets where food gets delivered.

"S.W.A.T." is back (still swatting, presumably), and even Uber Eats is getting in on the action. Perhaps they're documenting the harrowing journey of your pad thai from kitchen to couch.

Here is everything filming this week:

• “Death Valley Abduction” (film)

• “S.W.A.T.” (TV show)

• “Dr. Odyssey” (TV show)

• Uber Eats (commercial)

• “I’m Doing Fine” (student project)

Keep your eyes peeled for familiar locales on your screen. That park bench you ate lunch on yesterday? It might just be a star by tomorrow.

🎗️ Raise a Glass, Make a Difference

The Michael Hoefflin Foundation is officially on the lookout for volunteers to help make their "Cheers for Charity" event on September 14 a smash hit. Whether you’re a master at setting up, or you’ve got a knack for cleaning up, they could really use your help. This is your chance to fight children’s cancer while contributing to a fantastic cause.

LOCAL HAPPENINGS

💼 Tomorrow, join the movers and shakers of SCV at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital for some top-tier networking. Who knows? You might meet your next business partner or, at the very least, enjoy some fancy finger food.

🎭 This weekend, catch "Sagittarius Ponderosa" by Open Wings Theatre Company at The Main. We're intrigued by the name alone.

FROM THE FEED 🤳

Last week, we stopped by Shaq’s Big Chicken in the River Oaks Shopping Center, and let’s just say it’s still lingering in our thoughts.
