Celeste stands in the woods and says WE'VE BEEN TRAINING FOR A LONG
TIME AND ARE ALWAYS WATCHED BY A
PRO COACH SO PLEASE DON'T TRY
ANY OF THE MOVES YOU SEE US DO.
NOW ENJOY THE SHOW.

(COMPUTER NOISES)

One by one, the Big Top Academy kids join a Hangout meeting.

Nicholas connects first and says WOW.
I'M IN.
IT ACTUALLY WORKED.

He sends a voice message and says CHASE, I CRACKED THE CODE.

MUCH BETTER.

Nicholas says ROSA.

WE'RE FINALLY ALL
BACK TOGETHER.

Phoenix says HEY.
WHAT IF WE MADE THIS
OUR PLACE?
WHERE WE COULD
ALL HANGOUT TOGETHER.

Nicholas says GREAT.
LET'S MEET HERE UNTIL
SCHOOL'S BACK IN.

Miss Martel says NOT SO FAST.
I'VE SUSPENDED ALL BULLETIN
ACTIVITY.

April says MS. MARTEL?
HOW DID YOU
GET IN HERE?

Miss Martel says I'M HEADMASTER.
I CAN GO ANYWHERE AND UNTIL
SCHOOL'S BACK IN AND THERE IS A
NEW EDITOR ALL BIG TOP BULLETIN
ACTIVITY IS ON HOLD.
IT'S SO NICE TO SEE ALL OF YOU.
NOW PLEASE LEAVE.

Max says OOPH.
EVEN I THOUGHT
THAT WAS HARSH.
SEE YA.

Nicholas says WAIT.
LOOK.
MAYBE WE CAN'T HANGOUT BUT WHAT
IF WE WORKED ON THE BULLETIN?
WE CAN PUT OUT AN EDITION.

Max says DO WE EVEN KNOW HOW
THAT WOULD WORK?

Celeste says I DO.
I'VE HAD MY OWN SEGMENT IN THE
BULLETIN SINCE I STARTED AT BTA.

Phoenix says SCIENCING WITH
CELESTE.
I'M A FAN.

Celeste says THANKS.
USUALLY THE EDITOR ASSIGNS
A FEW PEOPLE SEGMENTS
AND THEN GETS TO
DO THE GRAND FINALE.

Axel says SOUNDS LIKE FUN.
WE'LL HANG TOGETHER
AND PUT OUT THE
BULLETIN TOGETHER.

April says SO IT'S ON.
CELESTE, WHY DON'T
YOU DO THE FIRST SEGMENT?

Celeste says OR I CAN DO
THE GRAND FINALE.

Nicholas says NO.
YOU SHOULD GO FIRST TO SHOW US
ALL HOW IT'S DONE.

Ella says THEN EVERYONE ELSE
CAN SEND IN VIDEOS.

Rosa says WAIT.
WHAT IF MS. MARTEL FINDS OUT?

Nicholas says FINDS OUT WE PUT OUT
THE BEST EDITION
OF THE BULLETIN EVER?
BRING IT.

Everyone says YEAH, LETS' DO THIS!

The instrumental theme song plays as the opening credits roll.

The BTA kids appear doing all kinds of acrobatic and at-home activities.

Nicholas is in his mid-teens, with short curly brown hair.

Max is in his mid-teens, with short light brown hair.

April is in her mid-teens, with long straight blond hair.

Phoenix is in her mid-teens, with long straight brown hair.

Rosa is in her mid-teens, with long straight brown hair.

Ella is in her early teens, with long straight black hair.

Celeste is in her mid-teens, with long wavy brown hair.

Axel is in his mid-teens, with short blond hair.

The name of the show appears on an illustration of a circus top. It reads "Big Top Academy. School's Out Edition."

A caption reads "Produced in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil Images."

The Big Top Academy Bulletin logo appears.

At the lab, Celeste says WELCOME TO SCIENCING WITH
CELESTE.
EVEN THOUGH I LOVE MY CIRCUS
FAMILY CAMP COEFFECIENT SCIENCE
CAMP IS MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME
HAPPY PLACE.
WHERE ELSE CAN YOU SPEND THE DAY
DOING QUALITY ANALYSIS OF LAKE
WATER, ITS TEMPERATURE,
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY,
NITRATE, PHOSPHORUS, POTASSIUM,
DISSOLVED OXYGEN... .I WON'T
BORE YOU WITH THE REST.
AND AT NIGHT I GET TO STUDY MY
FAVORITE INSECT.
THE PHOTURIS LUCICRESCENS.
IN LAYMAN'S TERMS THE FIREFLY.
DID YOU KNOW THAT FIREFLIES
AREN'T FLIES AT ALL?
THEY'RE ACTUALLY SOFT SHELLED
BEETLES AND YOU MIGHT FIND THIS
GROSS OR AMAZING BUT THE BIGGEST
FIREFLY CAN GROW TO THE SIZE OF
YOUR PALM.
BUT MY FAVORITE PART ABOUT
FIREFLIES IS THE FLASHES OF
LIGHT YOU SEE IS THE FIREFLY
LANGUAGE OF LOVE.

Holding firecrackers, Celeste performs a dance.

Then, she says MY FIREFLY DANCE HAS
ATTRACTED ANOTHER INSECT.
A CARNIVORE FROM THE CULICIDAE
FAMILY.
AKA THE DREADED MOSQUITO.

She tries swat mosquitoes as they chase her.

Now a caption reads "Cooking with Rosa."

In the kitchen, Rosa stretches and says I'D RATHER BE DOING CIRCUS
TRICKS WITH MY FRIENDS BUT NOW
THAT SCHOOL'S I'M OUT LEARNING
HOW TO BAKE.
SO TODAY I'M MAKING A LEMON
LAVENDER LOAF.
LAVENDER IS A FLOWER AND A HERB
WHICH MAKES IT GREAT FOR BAKING
AND WHAT GOES GREAT WITH
LAVENDERS?
LEMONS.

She juggles with the lemons and says WHOOPS.
BACK TO BAKING.
FIRST.
WASH YOUR HANDS FOR 20 SECONDS.
THEN CREAM THE BUTTER.
THEN ADD THE SUGAR.
THEN DRIED LAVENDER
FLOWERS AND EGGS.
AND MIX.

She pours the batter into a bun pan.

She says AND NOW IT'S READY TO POP INTO
THE OVEN.
I TIE MYSELF UP IN KNOTS WAITING
FOR THE FIRST BITE OF THIS TASTY
TREAT.

Rosa does some back and forth flips over the counter top.

She says IN MY HOUSE WE ALL LIVE CIRCUS
24-7.
SO IT'S OKAY WITH MY FOLKS TO
PERFORM ANYWHERE AND OF COURSE I
CLEAN OFF THE COUNTER BEFORE MY
NEXT BAKING ADVENTURE.
(OVEN CHIMES)

Rosa smells her cake and says MY FAMILY'S GONNA LOVE THIS.
(COMPUTER NOISES)

Now Celeste and Nicholas connect online.

Celeste says HEY, WHAT'S UP?
YOU WANTED TO TALK?

Nicholas says YEAH.
I MEAN.
HAVE YOU GUYS EVER
USED THE BULLETIN TO
DO A BIG CIRCUS
PERFORMANCE
WITH EVERYONE?

Celeste says WHAT?
NO.
THE BULLETIN IS A
SOURCE OF INFORMATION
NOT A STAGE.

Nicholas says YEAH BUT WHAT IF
WE MADE IT A STAGE?
I MEAN WE HAVE
THE AUDIENCE.
EVERYONE FROM
BTA IS WATCHING.
LET'S AIM BIG.

Celeste says WE'RE ALREADY DOING THIS
WITHOUT PERMISSION.
THE BULLETIN HAS RULES.
I'VE SUGGESTED COOL IDEAS BEFORE
BUT THEY'VE ALL BEEN TURNED
DOWN.

Nicholas says BUT NOW WE'RE IN CHARGE.
I MEAN THERE'S NO ONE TO TELL US
NO.

Celeste says EXCEPT FOR MS. MARTEL.
IF SHE DOESN'T LIKE THIS SHE CAN
KICK US ALL OUT OF HERE AND SHUT
DOWN THE BULLETIN.

Nicholas says THEN THIS IS OUR ONE SHOT TO
TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?

Celeste says I SAY I'M NOT THE
EDITOR SO I CAN'T STOP YOU.
GOOD LUCK.

In his backyard, Nicholas says THE BIG TOP BULLETIN IS A
BELOVED INSTITUTION AT BIG TOP
ACADEMY.

He dribbles a basketball and says STUDENTS HAVE RELIED ON ITS NEWS
AND INFORMATION FOR YEARS AND
NOW WE'RE ADDING SOMETHING NEW.
THERE'S NEVER BEEN A CIRCUS
PERFORMANCE IN ANY EDITION OF
THE BIG TOP BULLETIN.
THAT'S ABOUT TO CHANGE.

UPBEAT MUSIC

Clips show the students performing at home in the trampoline, in the hoops, riding unicycles and juggling, and jumping rope.

X THAT WAS SO FUN.

Rosa says I'VE MISSED PERFORMING WITH YOU
GUYS.

Phoenix says IT WAS REALLY GREAT.

Nicholas says CELESTE, WHAT
DID YOU THINK?

Celeste says I THINK MS. MARTEL'S GONNA FREAK
BUT WHO CARES?
THAT WAS THE BEST EDITION I'VE
EVER BEEN PART OF.
THANKS NICOLAS.

Miss Martel says I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU GUYS THE
BIG TOP BULLETIN IS OFF LIMITS
AND INSTEAD YOU DROPPED AN
ENTIRE EDITION.
WHO IS THE EDITOR?
WHO'S IN CHARGE?

Ella says WHO CARES?
WASN'T IT AWESOME?

Celeste says WE TOOK OUR TRADITIONAL SCHOOL
NEWSPAPER TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
NOW WE CAN PERFORM TOGETHER WHEN
WE'RE APART.

Miss Martel says IT DOESN'T MATTER.
YOU GUYS BROKE THE RULES.
THE BIG TOP BULLETIN IS A
STORIED INSTITUTION WITH A
HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE.
SO I WILL ASK YOU ONE MORE TIME.
WHO IS THE EDITOR.

One by one, all the students raise their hands.

Miss Martel says SERIOUSLY GUYS?

Phoenix says WE'RE ALL RESPONSIBLE.
WE DID THIS TOGETHER.

Celeste says I KNOW THIS ISN'T HOW THE
BULLETIN USUALLY WORKS BUT
SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO BREAK THE
RULES TO MAKE THINGS BETTER LIKE
PUTTING CIRCUS INTO A CIRCUS
SCHOOL NEWSPAPER.

Miss Martel says YOU MAY HAVE A POINT BUT PUT
SOMEONE IN CHARGE.
PICK AN EDITOR BECAUSE EVERY
BULLETIN EDITOR HAS GONE ONTO
CIRCUS GREATNESS AND IF THE
BULLETIN SLIPS BELOW MY
THRESHOLD OF EXCELLENCE THE
EXPERIMENT IS OVER.

Nicholas says THANK YOU MS. MARTEL.

Celeste says WE WON'T LET YOU DOWN.

Phoenix says THIS IS GOING
TO BE AMAZING.

Ella says I CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN.

Celeste says AND WHEN WE DO I HAVE SO MANY
IDEAS.
AS EDITOR I'M GONNA MAKE SURE
EACH EDITION IS BETTER THAN THE
LAST.

Max says WAIT.
WHO SAID YOU'RE
THE EDITOR?
WHAT IF I WANNA
BE THE EDITOR?
WHICH I DO.

April says SO DO I.
I'D BE GREAT AT IT.

Axel says SAY'S YOU.
HOW FAIR IS THAT?

Rosa says IT'S NOT.

Nicholas says THEN WE'LL MAKE IT FAIR.
LOOK.
WE'LL ALL TAKE TURNS AND VOTE ON
WHO HAD THE BEST EDITION AT THE
END.
THE WINNER GETS TO BE THE
EDITOR.

Ella says AND I'LL SQUEAK BY IN A COME
FROM BEHIND VICTORY AND WIN.
GO ELLA!
(EVERYONE LAUGHS)

One by one, they all leave the meeting.

In computer writing, a caption reads "Enter secret room."

The theme song plays as the end credits roll.
