JA BAND BOOSTERS


All band families should have received an email Sunday from Booster President Catherine Arnold. If you did not receive it, please email Catherine at arnoldsfive@gmail.com to ensure she has your correct contact information.

As a reminder, the third of four $200 band fee payments is due, unless you have made other arrangements with the Boosters. A board member will be at camp each morning to collect payments.

For the daily lunch break, your student can leave campus with a parent, or with another student or parent with permission. If we have enough parents to provide supervision, students will be able to bring a lunch and stay on campus. If you are interested in this option and can help provide supervision, contact Catherine Arnold.

DONATIONS


Bottled water, snacks, and gatorade donations are NEEDED for camp and the season. Please bring donations on Monday!
