IMPORTANT MEETING TO ATTEND!
There is a flex scheduling/Parker High School presentation, Tues. March 13th, in the auditorium of the high school. Times to attend are 5-6 p.m. and 6-7 p.m. If you have not attended any of these or have questions that will affect your child academically or musically, try to attend. If you are unable to attend, Mr. Smith can be reached directly at smithw@howellschools.com and will address your questions or concerns within a reasonable time. FYI...The junior class is meeting with counselors the week of March 19-23 to consider their classes for next year and will be sent home with a copy of their classes for approval of the parents. They are hoping to achieve the master schedule before they leave school in June. Check with your child's counselors to get more information.
Immediately afterward, come to the band booster meeting which starts at 7:00 in the band or choir room. There are some great things coming up between now and the end of the year, to help raise money for needed items for the instruments, etc. off Mr. Smigell's wish list. Coming up April 3rd is HOWELLPALOOZA! There will also be some OTHER fundraisers to help for the upcoming band camp expenses and even to start planning on next year's trip!
Also the band room is moving immediately after school is out and Mr. Smigell has asked for our help! Hope to see you there!
