SENIOR NIGHT - we asking for everyone to come out to help at the concession
stand on Friday, November 6. We will be celebrating "Senior Night" at the
game. Prior to that, the seniors and their parents will be honored at a
pizza party in the school auditorium hosted by the junior band members and
assisted by the junior band parents. A lot of our "usual helpers" will be
taking part in the senior activities - either as participating parents or
hosts. We'll be shorthanded in the stand - this would be a good night to
come out and help for a few hours.

UNIFORM CONTRACTS - please return the signed Uniform Contract with the $5.00

CONCESSION STAND - a big thank you to all the helpful parents/family members
who have turned out to help in the concession stand. We had a great crew
who worked incredibly hard. Special thanks to the new parents who were
there - hope to see you back. PLEASE - if you have not already done so -
make arrangements to work at the concession stand. We have 3 more home
games - next one is October 2.
INSTRUMENTS - Do you have instruments stowed in the attic, not being used or
appreciated? Consider donating them to the GNA Band. Mr. Bunnell would
like to add to the school's instrument inventory and is requesting donations
of instruments. Having an inventory will allow additional students to
become part of the band that might not have that chance otherwise. If you'd
like to make a donation - instrument or monetary (to purchase used
instruments) - please see Mr. Bunnell.
