Meals to Missions Fundraiser

Don't forget about our Meals to Missions fundraiser! We are almost at $12,000, but we will need the support of the entire community to reach our goal of $80,000! Parents and students alike, please reach out to your neighbors, coworkers, church, and community contacts, as well as social media, to spread the word. Also, congratulations to our next two prize winners, Chris McDonald and Jackson Volpert - keep up the great work!

Our next big in-person event will be our Meals to Missions Meal Packing Party, hosted during Band Camp on 7/17 from 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm. Band and Football students will come together with friends, parents, staff, community leaders and more to pack 15,000 meals to send to hungry families across the Southeast. We need all hands on deck! There are volunteer slots on the Booster Hub calendar if you are available to come support our efforts to give back to those less fortunate.

Percussion Parent “Meet N Chat”!

Percussion Parents mark your calendars. Our new Percussion Director, Celeena Corbin would like to have a "meet n chat" with percussion parents on Friday evening July 11th, 6:30 pm at Indio Brewing in Sugar Hill. This will be informal and similar to our monthly Parent's Night Out evenings. Come meet Ms. Corbin, ask your questions and welcome her to the family.

Percussion Parents, use the order form to secure your percussion parent jersey. Our jerseys will be the same design as the kids' but will say Percussion Parent on the back. Add your kid's graduation year or leave it blank. Please order ASAP. Next order won't happen until Indoor Percussion season. Percussion Parent Order Form
