World Down Syndrome Day 3/21
Band & Orchestra Festival on Tuesday March 21
Message from our Band Director Mr. Jordan:
We are still in need of Parent Volunteers to help with the running of the Band & Orchestra Festival on Tuesday March 21.
Here is the link to volunteer https://signup.com/go/ERpOhqv
The Wind Ensemble and Orchestra are performing, but the funds raised help to support the entire music program, so I need your help.
We will need parents that are coming early on Tuesday to help with picking up all of the sodas, chips, and candy. We have 2-3 ice chests and we can fill them up at the school ice machine.
Please also bring as many canopies as possible since it will most likely be raining all day.
Thank you for all your help and support!

THANK YOU 8th Graders for turning in your CA Adventure money. By the amount of students signing up, it’s going to be a fun-filled day!
