Congrats on a great first football game performance! Thank you so much to all the parents who volunteered at the game and who helped make concessions a success. We have a full week of rehearsal and an important Saturday rehearsal from 8:30AM-5PM as we continue learning our 2017 field show production! Students must wear a hat, athletic clothes, athletic/tennis shoes (no sandals or converse), sunscreen, and bring a 1-gallon water jug to all rehearsals. You may keep these items in your cubby during school. Make sure you're hydrating 24 hours ahead of time, eating breakfast & lunch, and getting rest.
UNIFORM SEWING PARTY TUESDAY!
On Tuesday, August 29th we will be having a uniform sewing party from 6-8PM in the Drama Room (right next to the Band Room). We will teach you everything you need to know! No experience is required. See you there!
KICK-OFF BOOSTER MEETING THIS WEDNESDAY!
Come to our Booster Kick-Off Meeting this Wednesday, August 30th at 6:30PM in the Band Room! While fundraising is a major part of what the boosters do, it is not the sole purpose of the organization.

We have a great group of booster parents, and meetings are welcoming, efficient, and fun!
