Weekly Update

Congratulations to last week’s Marchers of the Week: Nayla Gomez, Savannah Stiehl, Nathaniel Cesar, Hanna Jones, and Anthony Bonet! Last week’s Section of the Week was the clarinet section! To see our previous MOTW’s, please visit the following link: http://www.prhsbands.org/2018-2019-info.html. 
 
We were so disappointed that we couldn’t stay to help support our football team at last Friday’s game. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. Thankfully, our team had a great victory against South Fort Myers and we’re looking forward to this week’s Homecoming game!
 
All students are encouraged to show their school spirit by participating in Spirit Week! The themes are listed below. Also, students don’t forget to vote for this year’s Homecoming Queen and King at https://vote.electionrunner.com/election/bNVOY.

Students who did not participate in the Coupon Book Fundraiser are asked to sell at least 1 Program Ad. These ads will be placed in the CCPS Band Show Program on October 20thand the PRHS Marching Band Invitational on November 3rd. Program ads can serve as a business ad or as a “shout out” page from parents to their students. Order forms are attached to this email. I’m sure some of the new businesses that have recently opened in the area would be interested in advertising to more prospective patrons in the area!
