Thank you for Uno’s Doughraiser help!
Uno’s – WOW – Where do we begin? – After a rough start, Uno’s turned out well. We had volunteers that were willing to do double shifts and others that left and came back. Thank you! All in all we did really well for volunteers. Ticket sales were not as high as we wanted them, but preliminary numbers appear to be similar to last year.
For everyone involved in any way – THANK YOU! We could not do any of this without your help.
Swing Dance is December 9
The Lakota West Swing Dance 2016 is just 4 weeks away – Friday December 9th from 7:30- 10PM. To make this a special night we need volunteers. Jazz parents are kindly requested to take a shift. Set up/decorate, sell tickets, coat check, serve snacks, tear down/clean up. Most shifts are 1-2 hours so there is plenty of time to enjoy the entertainment before/after your shift. You will not miss your child playing. Whether your child is in jazz or not, please consider taking a shift at this fabulous event! Click here to sign up.

Winter Guard Auditions
It is hard to believe, but Winter Guard is ready to start. Winter Guard auditions are this Monday, November14 from 6pm – 9pm at the Freshman building in the Auditorium. Due to the huge interest in this year’s Winter Guard, there will be two guards. We encourage all interested to come to auditions. Must be currently in at least 9th grade. For questions, please contact Shelby Klamert.
