Its cold outside, but spring planning is in full swing!

Here’s what you need to know this week.

We hope everyone is staying warm this weekend!
Below are reminders of key dates for Spring semester. We will continue to keep you updated as Spring spirit nights and fundraising events are planned.

We are looking for new volunteers and board members as our new Band Booster year begins on May 1.
