Week 2 of School – 8/26/19-8/30/19
Great first week of school, everyone! I am glad everyone is figuring out their class schedules and working hard in their classes. Keep it up! We kicked off out flashfund fundraiser, so everyone, PLEASE spread the word on social media, text and email!
This week is our first performance in uniform for the Gucci Bowl! Do make sure that you have black shorts for game day, long solid black socks, hair ties, gel and bobby pins for putting long hair into a bun, marching shoes no make up or nail polish this week since we will not wear gloves, etc. It’s going to be a busy and fun week!
