Message from the Directors
The marching band was featured on FOX5 Atlanta this past Thursday as well as senior members, Bailey Lesko and Niko Avradopoulos.
As we are more than halfway through October, please encourage your students to participate in class each and everyday so that they do not get behind. Remind them to also reach out to their teachers when they need help.
We have also officially moved Middle School Night to Monday, November 2nd, and we invite all families to come check out the marching band!
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, and have a great week!
