KSU Field Trip: Tuesday, October the 17th.

Due to the large amount of student travelers, we are in need of more chaperones. If you have already signed up or would like to attend, please email me at maria.menendez@carrolltoncityschools.net

For chaperones who filled out out the google form already, the one I created did not have a spot that designated if you were a chaperone signing up. Please email me so that I can ensure that I have enough chaperones to travel.

If you have not filled out your Subway order form, please do so at this time. If not, a turkey sub will be ordered on your behalf.

8th Grade Night: Friday, October 20th

Good evening,

I am so excited for our 8th graders because this Friday is 8th Grade Night! This is a required event for all 8th grade band members. Students will stay after school with me to walk over to the high school around 3:45 PM. They can wear jeans and a T-shirt because we will provide them with a free T-shirt this Friday to change into that is made especially for them. I recommend bringing layers and a jacket since it will be cold as the sun sets.

Our students will live the life of a high school marching band member for one night and will perform the Pre-Game ceremony with us. In addition, they will get special access to the field during half time to get a front row seat to the band performance! This night is completely free to your students and they will be well fed and spoiled rotten by our high school band family.
