HSS Band 2009-10.12 CONGRATS and THANKS for Tag Day #1


Many thanks to all the parents and students today who worked so hard on our first tag day! There was a ton of teamwork today, and the total collected was over $11,500!! (That's a little more than what was collected on Tag Day #1 last year; a great accomplishment in this economic climate.)
(Dave's $2 put us over the top!!!)

I'll send a detailed email later this weekend with the schedule for next week (rehearsals; another staple party; home game Thursday night; and Tag Day #2 - Note that students should sign up their groups & driver for next Saturday in band class next week. The sign-up sheets will be on the bulletin board in the band room. Even if your group is going to be exactly the same, please sign up again so Mrs. Fitzsimmons can put together the maps and assignements. Another note: Families observing the Rosh Hashanah holiday next Saturday are not required to participate in Tag Day #2.)

For now, I just wanted to let everyone know what a terrific job you all did today.

Finally, special thanks to Erin Fitzsimmons who is doing an amazing job of putting all this together!

Humbly serving our kids, and proud to be part of this group,
Lorraine Monaco
