Announcements: Week of 11/9/2022

We want to remind you that even though we may not be out performing regularly at this time, we are still very busy as we transition to our indoor activities for the remainder of the school year.  Please stay in touch by attending meetings, reading through the weekly updates, and reaching out to us if there are questions or concerns. Information for this week includes:

The football game scheduled for Friday has been moved to Saturday at 2:00 pm.  Since this is such short notice, this will not be a mandatory performance, as I know some families were planning to be out of town, may have activities planned for the day, or students may be scheduled to work.  However, if a student is available to attend, I ask that every effort be made to be in attendance, as we have an obligation to support the school.  We will not wear uniforms, so plan to wear something purple and dress for the weather.

Fruit Sale:

Cash sales for the fruit fundraising project have ended, and all orders should now be turned in to the band room. Please be sure to contact Mr. Yost immediately if you still have any order forms or money that need to be submitted.   If you, or family members and friends, would like to place an order electronically, those sales will continue through tomorrow, Thursday, November 10.   Click on the links below to access the online sales and turn-in information.
