We are so proud of all of our students on completing a very successful band camp! The students worked so hard over the past two weeks and accomplished so much. We cannot wait to see what they achieve this season!
The students displayed their school pride as they dressed up for the themes throughout the week. Thank you to our student officers for organizing Spirit Week and for encouraging everyone to participate. It really makes a difference when everyone gets involved and shows their school spirit! Thank you to our Band Boosters for all of their help throughout band camp and thank you for hosting our End of Band Camp Party last Friday night.
