First Away Game
With the exception of the game delay due to rain, last Friday night went well at our first away football game. Due to limited stadium seating, we were only able to send a smaller “Pep Band." I hear it was a fun time and our Band students (and football players) did a great job! Also, as predicted, the Chik – Filet snack was success! Thank you to the Band parents who helped. Volunteers included Rick Hester, Dale Mosher, the Quandts, Marly Cohen, Dale Vicos, Holly Hicks, and of course Mr. Brooker, who is both our Band Director and a band parent too!

CURRENT FUNDRAISERS:
Starting this week – “Sally Foster”. In my opinion, Sally Foster offers some of the highest quality, most beautiful wrapping paper available at an affordable price. Other items are available too. Please look for details that will be sent home with each student. Please share this fundraiser with all of your friends, family members and co-workers! This was our most successful fundraiser last year outside of the Concession stand.

Other fundraisers taking place are Car Wash, Middle School Dance, and ongoing - Concessions.
