Fundraiser

Just a reminder that we will be beginning our only fundraiser for the year-our Magazine Subscription Renewal Drive on September 2nd. We will give out lots of incentive prizes for students really getting out and selling or getting their parents to get subscription renewals. We try to just have one main fundraiser each year, so let's get it done! Thanks!-Mrs. Steele

First Band Rehearsal!

Wow! What a great first rehearsal we had today! The band played great today! We had 125 students in attendance and should have even more tomorrow. Everyone needs to be working on their music each day so that they can come back prepared and we can get alot accomplished during our time together.

Band fees are due on August 11th so be sure and bring that in this week.

Please make plans to be at the our swimming party on August 15th from 5-7:30! It's going to be alot of fun and you will get to know everyone better.
