Hi, hey, hello!
It is OCTOBER! And it feels like it, too! ;) Homecoming Week went well! Thank you to the students for staying focused on a busy and exciting week! Mattress Fundraiser Kick Off Meeting Our biggest fundraiser of the year is the Mattress Fundraiser that is held on Sunday, November 10. To ensure that this fundraiser is a success, we will be having a parent and student kick off meeting on Monday, Oct. 7 during our normally scheduled rehearsal. The meeting will be at 7:20pm in the auditorium. There will be a drawing for a prize if you attend this meeting! Bobby's Apples Fundraiser Pick Up Pick up will be THIS TUESDAY, Oct. 8, from after school to 6pm! If you sold any apples, please plan on picking them up on Tuesday! McKendree Competition The tentative calendar for this competition can be found HERE and attached. Optional Movie Night on Oct. 14 Every year, the band has a movie night! Typically, this night has been during Homecoming Week, but with the parade and our final competition being so close, we decided to postpone it until after our last competition. The date the student leader team has selected is on Monday, Oct. 14. We do not have school this day! The movie will be held in the auditorium, movie selection TBA, but it is a fun time! If you are planning on attending this movie night, bring a pillow, blanket, and snacks, although some snacks and drinks will be provided! The movie will start at 5:30pm, pick up will be around 8pm and you will not be allowed to leave once you are here! Halloween Parade The date of the Halloween Parade was moved to Tuesday, Oct. 29th! This may be different than some social media posts that have been moving around, but this is what was communicated with me from the coordinator of the parade. If this changes, I will let you know! This parade is a FUN one - the students dress in costumes! We vote on best dressed at the end of the night. More information TBA, but please put the date on your calendars!
