Dear Parents,

 

            I hope you had a wonderful and prayerful Easter. 

            This Thursday both sections of the band will attend competition at Sandy Lake not far up 35.  We are in need of drivers.  Please call the office if you can help drive.  They will leave around 7:15am and come back around 2:30.  We need help!

            Scrip is only sold by prepayment of an order or payment upon receipt from the inventory box.  Payment must be made at the time of purchase.  Scrip is not a take and pay later system!  If you have a large order, it needs to be placed by Tuesday, 8am for delivery on Thursday.  When large orders are just taken from the box, it denies others from purchasing especially on weekends.  Scrip is not a take and pay later system.  When everyone cooperates, it works great!

            If you still need some volunteer hours, there will be a group working on the PreK front playground this Saturday morning from 8 to 10.  We’ll need drills with large bits to go through landscape timbers, and shovels and rakes to move new mulch.

            Have a great week and pray as a family.

 

Ms. Volker
