News! Meeting times & Fall Festival.

Posted by Band Boosters on September 13th, 2009 in , . No Comments »

The Band Boosters will be hosting a Fall Festival on Saturday, October 24 in the middle school parking lot from 10a – 3p. We need volunteers to help assist with booths (a few floaters to relieve other parents, and a few to run game booths) as well as students to help their parents. We also will be having our own “Yard Sale” booth so we need donations (money raised from your donated yard sale items will go into the Band Booster funds). Other items we are looking for: Kid Meal toys or stuffed animals (in good shape) to give away as prizes. Please contact Jo Hanke if you have any questions. Her email address is jo@bearcatband.org.
