Rose Parade Programs!!!
Rachel Butler will be at the Boosters meeting tomorrow night to collect orders for the Rose Bowl programs.  (Don’t forget the Booster’s meeting will be at the Freshman building after the Freshman concert on Tuesday, October 21, 2014.)  The Rose Parade programs are a fun way to commemorate your child’s accomplishment of marching in the Rose Parade!!!  The prices for the programs is only $10 (the same price as out in California).  You can order your program here, not have to worry about transporting it home from the parade, or having it damaged in your luggage.  Orders have to be received no later than Saturday, October 25th.  If you cannot attend the booster meeting, please mail the order form to Rachel at the address provided on the form, or you can turn it in to her at the competition this weekend.
