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.

Seniors
Your Wind Ensemble uniform wants to stay active in Amador Valley music rather than gather dust in your closet. Donate any and all pieces of your wind ensemble uniform to the AFM Wind Ensemble Uniform Closet. Next year's students can give your uniform another chance to be on stage. Last year over 12 items were distributed to wind ensemble members!
Drop off your clean uniform items at 2509 Corte Facil. An announcement will be made in August listing the pieces available to any current students who need to exchange sizes or replace items and for new wind ensemble members who would like to try on these pieces. Mr. Grantham will place an order for new uniforms in the fall as usual.
