Another Calendar Change
Just a heads up everyone! Homecoming has been changed! Homecoming will now be September 24. (It was originally September 17). We still have room for a few more snack volunteers for the week of band camp. Please email Ms. Holtshouse if you can help!
A few other opportunities for parent involvement in the next couple of weeks: We need help with uniform fittings the week of band camp!
