Band Family,
Our popcorn will be delivered tomorrow, ahead of schedule! Since this is short notice for some, I will have two possible pick-up dates and times. You may pick up your popcorn at the following times:
1. Tomorrow (2/28) after school until 5pm.
2. Thursday (2/29) after school until 7pm.
If at all possible, please try to pick up your orders on Wednesday, this way we don't take up the band room space for too long. You may park on the band room side of the school (near the pavilion).
Thank you all for this successful fundraiser!

Our fair runs for an entire week, March 18 - 22, and on Tuesday March 19, we are open until 5:30. If you have a few hours available to help us during the fair, please contact our Family Engagement Coordinator, Mrs. Sabrina Maynard. She can be reached by email at sabrina.maynard@k12.wv.us or by text at 304-687-6517. Thank you!
