Band Uniform Collection- More Volunteers Needed!

Thank you to those who have already confirmed that they will be able to help with Band Uniform Collection this Saturday, October 29. More volunteers are needed to help make this process go as smoothly and as quickly as possible. Please email Lynn Yule at lynn.yule@akzonobel.com if you can help out. There will be a brief volunteer training at noon in the South Gym. Collection will start following the Half-Time Show for students with permission to leave then, and will continue with students being dismissed in groups during the second half of the game. With enough volunteers we hope to complete Collection by about an hour after the football game ends. Thank you for your support!
