Lincoln Week!!!

Parents and Students,
I hope everyone has had a nice long weekend! It is hard to believe that we are on our final week of the Football season. It has been a great season and the band has accomplished so much. I am incredibly proud of how our students represented the Childersburg community throughout this season. Here are the updates for the week:

• This weeks game is against Lincoln High School on Thursday. Students will need to report to the bandroom at 4:25pm. Here is the itinerary (Lincoln Game).
• Tuesday a band account balance update will go home with your child's progress report. This update will include concession stand, and fruit fundraiser profits. Please keep in mind that all band fees must be paid by December 19th to avoid a $40 late fee being added to your band account. 

Have a great week.
