Hey folks this is Mr. Smigell. I am going to try out this twitter thing. Maybe not as evil as Facebook? My screen name is Smigellj if you want to follow me.

Brand new Yankee Candle fundraiser is in the band room. Due date is March 1, 2012. Please make checks payable to Howell Band Boosters.

NYC Attendees:

Just a few notes: A sign up for rooms will be posted this week for Freshman attendees. Please choose your roommates by this Friday!

The final cost of the trip will be $743 (Instead of $750!). Your third and final payment will be due Monday, February 20th. It is imperative to get the final payments in on time. We must pay the tour company ASAP and it takes me a couple of days to process everyone's payments. Thank you in advance for getting those payments in on time or earlier (if you can!).

If you have paid in full already, I will work on getting you a refund when I turn in the last payments to the school.
