Hello everyone!
Hope you all enjoyed your snowy weekend! As most of you have probably heard by now, school
has been canceled for tomorrow, Monday, February 1st. This being the case, our booster meeting scheduled for tomorrow night
will also be canceled. I will let you all know if a meeting will be rescheduled before next month, and will keep Traci
updated with upcoming events and dates, so the website will be as up to date as possible!
One quick favor:
I'm looking
for 3 or 4 parents to volunteer their time this Saturday from about 8:00am until 2:00. (Or even just a portion of that time would help!) Patuxent is hosting
the county's Solo and Ensemble Festival, and we could use a few extra adult hands around to help with registration, etc.
Just drop me note if you're able to help! :-)
Also, thank you to all of you who had volunteered and possibly even already
made food for Saturdays Navy Band event. None of us were happy to see it canceled, but I am working with them for a
possible reschedule! Stay tuned...
Thanks for everything!
-Brooke Humfeld
