2/7/10 UPDATE



WHO DAT??



Thanks to everyone who helped make the "Arts in Motion" MIA show on campus Saturday a great success. Special thanks to Jim Lowery for spearheading the effort. Booster parents and JA students served throughout the afternoon and evening as unit guides, concession and hospitality room workers, security at the doors, monitors in the warmup areas in the PAC, parking guides, and in any other roles that were needed. All the guests on the JA campus Saturday seemed to be pleased with how smoothly everything went.

Please continue to ensure that your student attends his or her sectional rehearsal one afternoon each week.
