The December Booster meeting has been cancelled.
Stay tuned for additional information …
To help minimize the cost of the JWHS Band/Color Guard 2017 spring trip to Williamsburg, VA, we have decided to shorten the trip by one day. We will be going to Williamsburg, VA for 2 days rather than 3 days. We will leave as planned on Friday, April 29th and return late Saturday night, April 30th.
By not staying thru Sunday, the cost of the trip will be reduced by ($100) making the total cost of the trip $350 per student and $305 per chaperone for quadruple occupancy. See below for the cost of other occupancies:
Q= $350 / $305
T = $360 / $315
D = $400 / $355
S = $500 / $455
If you have already sent in your full payment for the original amount, let us know if you want a refund or would like to apply to your students account.
There will be a new itinerary sent out shortly.
If you have any concerns, please contact Mr. Rutherford or the Booster President.
Please turn in all orders and money by Tuesday, November 15th. They should be put in the silver box. No cash and make sure your students name is on the envelope and all checks turned in.
We need to know the totals sold so we have enough ingredients.
We had last minute orders turned in for pies and we completely sold out. Please turn in your orders on time, our community looks forward to pies and dumplings each year and it is terrible if we have to turn people away.
NO DUMPLING ORDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER 9am ON BAKING DAY.
NO ORDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT FULL PAYMENT.
The band will perform in Middletown for a Veteran’s Day event on Friday. This is during school hours.
Please make sure your student has the following:
~ a packed lunch
~ black socks
~ marching shoes
We are hoping to be back before the end of the school day, but there is a chance we won’t make it back before the buses leave. You may need to pick them up.
Since we will now be serving lunch the report time has been changed to 10:00am
Please dress warm and bring money for concessions (dinner)
