Thanks to all for an exciting Homecoming, and another fine performance of “Script Bees†on Friday night! As always, the instrument decorations are a fun way to showcase the limitless creativity and spirit of our students… thanks to everyone who stayed to help clean up the music area.
A huge THANK YOU to Kathy Richards and Nancy Randall, as well as all students and parents who volunteered to help with the DRIVE 1 Fundraiser! Â The weather was beautiful, and we had a good turnout. MANY THANKS!
Believe it or not, this week marks the beginning of October, and the marching season is already halfway over… but we have many exciting things yet to come.

Excused Absences – Please note, for excused absences, an additional activity will be required.

As such, we will ask you to complete an online assignment that involves viewing and analyzing videos of various Halftime shows. Please see Mrs. Astey for details.
