The Upbeat executive board will be on hand at 6pm for any questions. Come out to see what is ahead and get your questions answered. For all Upbeat minutes, financial reports, budget and more, please go to our Upbeat web page here.
Tag Day August 24
Tag – You’re it! Tag Day is less than two weeks away! Lakota West concert band, marching band and colorguard members will, in small groups, go door-to-door asking for donations from members of our community. Donations go toward the band’s uniform fund as well as the special projects fund – both significant recurring expenses. All Lakota West marching and concert band students grades 9-12 are expected to participate. Attendance will be taken upon arrival. We need everyone because this event benefits everyone! We need 85 parents to drive a route. Any route missed is a significant impact on the amount of donations we collect. The SIGN-UP for parent/guardian drivers is here! You may request your neighborhood if it is still available so don’t wait!
Yard Sign Sale August 9-29
Marching Firebird Yard Signs! Available for a limited time! See link to order online. They are $25 each, payable by cash or check to our PO box, online payments not available.
