Bingo signups are not being accepted
 
We just found out that due to a misunderstanding, Vanguards cannot accept our request to join in their bingo fundraiser at this time.   They have put us on a wait list so that we will be considered as soon as possible. 
 
We apologize for the inconvenience!
 
Reminder ….Freshman (A-L) Uniform Fittings TOMORROW….
 
Just a reminder that Mrs. Edmonds and Mrs. Ishizaki expect to see your bright shiny faces in the black box sometime between 12 pm and 4:45 pm Monday to get fitted for your uniform.
 
Fortunately, all you have to do is stand there like a zombie and have the band parents take care of most of the thinking.
 
Please remember to wear a tshirt, boxer shorts, and bring your marching shoes so measurements are correct.  And checks… don’t forget your checks!
 
Please contact Mrs. Edmonds at 408-507-5532 by phone, since she will be in the black box and not in front of a computer, duh, if you have issues.
 
Parents, Barb and Audrey are in need of additional help during the Monday fitting.  No sewing experience necessary!  Requirements – ability to read and write.  Some of the jobs available…handing out hats, handing out gloves, handing out uniforms, helping students try on pants and jackets.  Sounds simple because it is… just what you do when you take your reluctant child shopping for a new suit.
 
Freshmen parents, it would be to your advantage to help Barb and Audrey get those uniforms for your students.   Contact Barb Edmonds at edmondsbarb@yahoo.com or 408-736-1934 or Audrey Ishizaki at aud@yahoo.com  or 650-964-4054.
