December reading recommendation:&nbsp;&nbsp;Human Nature Book 1&nbsp;&nbsp;Written by&nbsp;&nbsp;Darren Aronofsky,&nbsp;Ari Handel, &amp;&nbsp;Jeff Welch,&nbsp;Illustrated by&nbsp;Martin Morazzo&nbsp;
Description:
Meet Duke: once just an ordinary nobody, now an ego-driven billionaire chicken magnate with nearly limitless wealth and power. But even endless fortune has limits―and Duke is obsessed with breaking the final barrier: death itself. Can he buy the key to defy death, or has his unchecked ambition finally gone too far?
From Academy Award–winning filmmaker Darren Aronofsky comes the first volume of his spectacular sci-fi trilogy,&nbsp;Human Nature
The visionary minds behind&nbsp;Black Swan&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Whale, Darren Aronofsky and Ari Handel, team up with writer Jeff Welch and acclaimed artist Martín Morazzo (Ice Cream Man) for&nbsp;Human Nature, a razor-sharp social-satire trilogy about ambition, power, and humanity’s desperate quest for immortality.
Overflowing with twisted humor, surreal adventures, and dazzling visuals,&nbsp;Human Nature&nbsp;hurtles readers into a bizarre yet unsettlingly familiar future, confronting unimaginable obstacles at every turn.
It’s a gripping, audacious ride that only Aronofsky could conjure―one that races forward at breathtaking speed, promising even greater thrills as the trilogy unfolds.

The&nbsp;All Wayne String Orchestra&nbsp;looks forward to warming your heart with festive winter &amp;&nbsp; holiday music!&nbsp;
Students in our ensemble come from all of Wayne Township’s middle and high schools, meeting for rehearsals weekly to further their passion for string music. Shaped by diverse interests and culture, music moves beyond sound. Through performance we strive to develop character and understanding of people and culture. For this reason we greatly value this opportunity to let music be the instrument for creating, sharing, and engaging our community.&nbsp;

The&nbsp;M.A.R.S. Trio&nbsp;is an ensemble that began through serendipity when members Aron Topielski, Ron Gardner, and Mackenzie Miller began meeting for casual music-making. Soon, a spirit of collaboration, and a vision emerged: to share our excitement for strings through community outreach, and to mentor the next generation of musicians.&nbsp;
