Rose Parade Trip — Our travel company provided preliminary information at the Upbeat meeting on 2/18 for both the student and “follower” packages. For those that could not attend, please CLICK HERE to access the information and forms.
Volunteer needs – We are in need of volunteers to fill several activity chair positions due to empty slots or one or more parents “aging out” with their last student. If you are interested in helping with any of these activities please contact the current owner on the CONTACT LIST or email Sue Tanner at president@lakotawestbands.org : Concert Uniforms, Co Chair Swing Dance, Mattress Sale, Co Chair Pancake Breakfast, Co Chair Spirit Wear, Taste for Music, Co Chair 3rd Quarter Refreshments, Senior Slideshow. This will give you time before the end of the year to train behind the current owner.
After Prom — This is a new opportunity for Upbeat. After Prom would like Upbeat to sponsor or co-sponsor a room. There is no cost involved, we would just need volunteers to decorate a room to a theme before prom within the budget the PTSO provides, serve snacks during the event, and clean up after. Several of our parents have been doing this with other activity groups. If you would be interested, especially in the decorating part, please contact Julie Forney at julie4knee@aol.com
