We will not be stopping for lunch on the way home this year from camp. So, no extra money is needed for that. There were vending machines w/pop, water etc. before at Eagle Village, so maybe bring $1's for that if wanted.

If families want to start donating cases of water for the marching band season, please feel free to bring in when dropping off your student, or picking up. We usually go through 5-6 cases for every home game. We will need some for the game at Eastern too!! Yes, we actually carried cases all the way into the stands!! The students appreciate all of the water provided by your donations!! Anyone wanting to donate cans of powdered Gatorade for the tailgates can do so as well!!
Thanks!! See everyone bright and early Monday morning!!
