Looking ahead:
We're going to need some extra volunteers for the Homecoming events on October 23 (there's a parade through the Hayfield Farm neighborhood after school, then we feed the band students pizza and dessert before the football game).
We're also going to need some extra help with the Senior Tribute football game on October 30 -- making boutonnieres ahead of time, etc.
If you can lend a hand with either of these events, please let me know: bandlsm@gmail.com

If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to get in touch with me!

Humbly serving our kids,
Lorraine Monaco
