Parade Update

Please bring/wear gloves and hats tonight!!  You can wear them up until we step off from the parking lot.  I'll bring a backpack to throw them in if we need that.

New Fundraiser

Pampered Chef fundraiser begins now!!
Due date is November 30.  That is a firm date so we can get the items in before Christmas break!! 

We could use some help in the uniform room on Friday before and after the parade, especially if it rains!  The rain coats are a lot of work to pass out and hang up properly so they don't get moldy. 

The popcorn fundraiser will be there on Friday too.  It will be sorted and ready to collect. 

Please see below for important report times and other info from Mr. Smigell.
