We hope to see all the parents
Friday night @6:30pm for the 'Sneak Preview' of the Marching Show - student
parking lot. Afterwards, everyone should
plan on attending the QUICK General Booster meeting in the Boy's Gym.
The 'Parent Information Zone' will open Friday @ 6:00pm, in the 'Gold Hall' (next to the Commons). In the ZONE there will be marching band information, forms and someone to collect membership and marching fees and tailgate lunch orders. Spirit items will be sold. In the ZONE we will be accepting family commitments for Brick donations in support of the funding raising campaign 'Raise the Tower' One Brick at a Time. There are a limited number of Brick pavers! So be sure to sign-up in the Zone and obtain a donation form. Donations will be due by September 30.
Be sure to check out the ZONE and
see what exciting things are going on.
Student rock-a-thon donations are due tonight. To participate in the lock-in, students need to raise a minimum of $100 in donations. At the $100 level, the students will obtain one raffle ticket and have access to all the 'rock' fun and food. For every additional $10 in donations, the student will be awarded one raffle ticket. Top three students will be able to choose from the grand prizes. There are over 50 prizes - grand prizes are a Wii, Digital Camera and iTouch.
Everyone will participate in the new
prize award game 'Let's Make a Rock'n Deal'. Only one prize will be awarded per
student. The more raffle tickets a student has will provide
them with a greater opportunity to 'Make a Rock'n Deal' and 'deal-up' their
prize. We hope this fun game will provide an enhanced opportunity for
all to win a fabulous prize!
A few house keeping items:
No outside food or drinks after
7:00pm
No coolers please! We will collect all coolers and keep them in the commons under parent supervision.
Nachos, pizza and donated snacks and drinks will be available all night long.
DON'T forget the permission slip.
If you don't have the official form,
send a note that states your student has permission to participate. Make sure your note includes your students
name, your name and contact information for Friday night.
Early check in begins Friday, 5:00pm for students who have turned in their donations by Thursday 6:00pm. Student donations will be accepted on Friday through a late check in process that opens @ 7:00pm.
This is our number one student fund raiser. Thank you for your support in making it a success!
