Hi, hey, hello!
We have a football game this Friday, Sept. 29. Call time will be 5:30pm which is a half hour later than last time, but students will need to be fully dressed and on the practice field at this time! If you are willing to help with anything this evening, please sign up here. Dress will be marching shoes, tall, black, clean socks, marching uniforms, and show shirts. The Homecoming Parade is on Friday, Oct. 6. This is a District Institute Day, so there is NO SCHOOL! However, the time between the parade and the game goes by pretty quickly. We will buy pizza for those that are interested for after the parade and before the game - it will be $5 per student. Money will be due to me by Thursday, Oct. 5 - also, if your child will be joining us that day, please fill out this GoogleForm. We will provide water to drink. Call time for the parade will be 2:00pm. Dress for the parade will be marching shoes, tall, black, clean socks and the new polo. Dress for the game will be marching shoes, tall, black, clean socks, marching uniform, and show shirt. If you are willing to sign up the help with the parade or game, you can find those sign ups here (parade) and here (game). On Oct. 16, we will begin our Butter Braid fundraiser!
