Work day for new walk to Band Room Entrance – Please come and volunteer!

Hello, my name is Thomas Taylor. I am asking for volunteers to help me with my Eagle Project.  I am building a paver walk from the band room to parking lot, at Lakota West HS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Sunday June 7th, 1pm – 4pm: What we’ll be doing is moving pavers from under Football stands to outside band room.
  • Monday – Friday, June 8th – 12th, 6pm -9pm: Spreading sand and laying pavers.
  • This would be great for anyone needing service hours!
  • Please bring work gloves, and shovels, wear closed toe shoes.
  • There will be water and food for all volunteers.
  • Thanks for your help!

You can contact Thomas at 513-213-6441 or 513-868-6472

 

Scholarships for Marching Band Available!

The Lakota West Upbeat Club has approved funding of multiple financial-need based scholarships of $200/student (50% of total fee) as part of the 15/16 budget.  Scholarships are paid directly to the district once the student has paid the first $200 of their fees, consistent with how payment of need-based scholarships for athletics occurs.  CLICK HERE for the 15/16 scholarship application form.  The form needs to be completed, signed by both parent and student, and submitted with a letter explaining the need.  Personally identifiable information is removed from the submitted letters by one of the officers and scholarship selection is made by a committee of alumni parents using the redacted letters.  Please contact Jill Trygier at  president@lakotawestbands.org with any questions.  DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION IS FRIDAY, JULY 24 ( FRIDAY OF PRECAMP)
