From The Director

Good evening!

There is not a whole lot new happening at this point. The students are going to have the option of decorating our new ATV for the Homecoming Game "parade" around the school prior to the game.

I do have the events for 1st semester in Google Classroom as well as listed above. I do not have the parents meetings added in yet. Thank you again for all of you who were able to make it to our first meeting! At the next meeting, we will have a small fruit/veggie tray as well as cookies or cupcakes.

The payments are now all availabe on line at the May River High School website. If you already paid the $75 for one semester, please go ahead and pay another $75 fee to total $150. If you haven't paid anything, please just pay the $150 so you aren't charged twice for online usage. The $90 instrument usage fee is available as well (ALL percussion must pay this as well).

Again, PLEASE do the Volunteer form on the district website so you can work with the students. It is required that each family volunteers at at least one event each semester, and you must have the SLED check completed up to 2 weeks at least prior to helping out.

As always, if you have any questions whatsoever, feel free to ask!

Sincerely,

Deborah Hamner Director of Bands May River High School 843-271-4686
