Ice Cream Sandwich Party Contest
 The Band RAs are sponsoring a contest among the band class periods. The class that returns the most Parent Volunteer Forms between May 16th - May 27th will win an Ice Cream Sandwich Party to be held during class. Please use this link to download and print the form
You can fill out one form for all parents and students in your household (include names and schools of siblings) and you will be covered for all volunteer activities at all schools for the entire 2011-2012 school year.
*Help your student win an Ice Cream Sandwich Party...most importantly help your Head RA get a jump on the hardest part of the job (not kidding). Some of last years parents were unable to RA events because of clearance backlogs and delays-so please act early.

Spring Concerts!
|
 The Collage Concert for both Wind Ensemble's and Jazz B is on May 25. Thank you to Ellen McGraw, Rachael Borchers, Nina Borchers, Sally Baker, Anne Gove, Julie Young and Jim Young for volunteering to usher at the Collage Concert.
Strangest request of the year? Does anyone have a bird call (yes, a bird call) that we may borrow for a piece that asks for multiple bird calls. If you can help, please send in with your child and I will make sure you get it back after the performance (5/25).

Director of Bands
