crackers, etc. There are 35 girls and 25 boys out for basketball this year. Donations can be brought to our season-opening games vs. SBA on Saturday

MUSIC
WINTERGUARD…THE WINTERGUARD SCHEDULE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED….THERE
WILL BE NO PRACTICE ON DECEMBER 11TH, PRACTICE HAS BEEN SET FOR 5:45 ON MONDAY,
DECEMBER 12TH IN WOONSOCKET (TENTATIVE); AND MONDAY, JANUARY 9TH AT
SC 5:45.
On Tuesday, December 13th there will be no vocal in the
afternoon as Mrs. Easton will be preparing for the Woonsocket Christmas
Concert.
HELP WANTED……. We have a fantastic Winterguard
Organization which practices several times a week. These young ladies put
many hours of hard work into this program, unfortunately our competitions are
all in Minneapolis. We are estimating the expense per participant
(travel, costume, drill, equipment, circuit membership fee) at about $500 per
student. The members plan on doing some fund raising, but past
experience has proven that we will fall short. We have some students who
have been attending practices faithfully, but realize financially they won’t be
able to afford it. At this time we are hoping to find sponsors – not to
just hand money over, but to provide these members with jobs to earn their way.
If you are willing to help us out – please contact Mr. Kroeger at brett.kroeger@k12.sd.us
CARING
Help us
earn playground equipment please!!!!! You can vote once a
day until March 24, 2017! Thank you in advance for taking the time
to help us!!!!
