Pre-LGPE Symphonic Camp

Pre-LGPE Symphonic Camp 

 

 

February 28th is our annual Pre-LGPE Symphonic Camp! 

This 9AM-4PM band filled day is our opportunity to push our LGPE programs to the next level. Professional musicians from around the state are being brought in to work closely with our students! 

Please ensure that this date is on your calendar as all band members are needed!

Chair Shoe Drive?

Chair Shoe Drive? 

Does being on the board sound like too much? You can still help! We’re looking for one (or a pair of) shoe drive chair person/people for this spring. The role involves coordinating with the org that pays us for collecting shoes, working with the company that donates bins for collecting, coordinating event donation days with Wheeler, etc.

Morning Volunteers Needed

Morning Volunteers Needed

We need additional volunteers for some upcoming Tuesday and Friday mornings, due to work and personal conflicts affecting some of our faithful volunteers who show up week in and week out. Can you help on one or two of these dates? Biscuit sales are every Tuesday and Friday morning before school. Upcoming dates with a particular need for more volunteers are Fridays - 1/30, 2/6, and 2/13; and Tuesday - 2/3.
