Parents & Students,
Happy Groundhog Day! Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning, which unfortunately means we have six more weeks of winter. Hopefully, that won’t impact the Winter Guard International Southeastern Championship we will host on February 26. We couldn’t have the show last weekend to better prepare us for the 26th, but I am confident we will be able to run this show smoothly and efficiently. We will post work assignments in Charms next week, similar to what we had planned for last Saturday. Every student and parent needs to sign up for at least one shift for this event to be a success!
Additional announcements and reminders for this week include:
