Marching Band Chaperone Interest Meeting, April 17
Calling all marching band parents! Interested in learning more about serving as a chaperone for this summer’s marching band camp, August 4-9? Find answers to your questions like 1) Can I still get work done at camp (totally); 2) Do I have to commit to the whole week (no); 3) Is it worth it? (absolutely) and more!
Please share this with any rising potential YHS band families as well!

April Restaurant Fundraiser
If your family is like ours, we’ll be getting everything together at the last minute for the Boston trip. That means no time to cook on April 24 – but we’ve got you. Head on over to The Simple Greek on Wilson Blvd from 4-8 for some healthy bowls or wraps, a family meal package, some Spanakopita, and maybe even a cookie or baklava to top it off. Attached is a graphic that you can share on social media to get the word out to the community!
