IMPORTANT - PARENT MEETING UPDATE AND NTCA PLANNING MEETING UPDATE

Image
Hello All, Nikki Weiss and Kelly Spence have been gracious enough to step up and take this over planning for our NTCA Guard Show.  Due to conflict with scheduling, we will be having our NTCA Planning meeting to this WEDNESDAY, December 14th at 630pm.   We will meet in the black box at the school.  We have made some progress over the last few weeks, but much more is needed to make this a great event. If you can help plan this event in any way, we would love for you to attend this meeting.  Please respond to this email and let us know if you can make it.  DUE TO THE JAZZ CONCERT TOMORROW NIGHT AND THE LACK OF CONTENT, WE HAVE CANCELLED OUR DECEMBER PARENT MEETING! Thanks so much.  Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!    Jessica South -- Check out the BPD Donorschoose Page www.DonorsChoose.org/BPD
