-HAWAII Interest Trip meeting will be at the high school Monday evening at 7:00 p.m. in the bandroom. I encourage all who are considering going on the trip to attend this meeting. This will truly be the trip of a lifetime with wonderful performance opportunities for the students. The trip is scheduled for December of 2021. I can hardly wait! I hope many of you are thinking about going. I have never been myself, but based on everything I have heard and seen from testimonials from those who have been before, it promises to be fantastic!
-Strawberries order forms and money are due Friday this week. We are asking each family to sell 3 flats or contribute $30 fair share.
-We still have some families who have not turned in their spring trip deposit for January. Please send those with your child this week.

-The next performance for all three grades (6th, 7th, and 8th) is Thursday evening, February 20. 7th graders will need khakis and polos for this performance (we obtained polo sizes last week from all the students). 8th graders will need their formal concert attire for this concert. 6th grade will need to wear nice clothing, much like they wore for the Veterans Day and Christmas Concerts.
