DONATIONS REQUESTED
During 3rd Quarter of football games, our students have a break and receive a drink and cookies. We ask our families to donate those items sending them in on uniform fitting nights. We do ask that you refrain from choosing items with chocolate or frosting or anything that can melt or stain the band uniform they will be wearing. We’ve provided suggestions below.
