BIG TRIP 2014 Volunteers

Parents of band students going on BIG TRIP 2014:

The AW Marching band students will have their next Big Trip (once every 4 years) in most likely late Fall of 2014 (about 18 months from now).

Because of this expensive event, the Band Boosters are looking at having a large fundraising event to help fund a portion of the students’ trip cost. But we cannot do this alone and are looking for some volunteers to help with this fundraising event.

Again, this is to help reduce YOUR cost for the trip in 2014.

If you would like to help out your child’s booster and band organization by assisting with this event or for more information, please contact me.

Chicago Trip – Medicine

 Annual Trips, Forms  Comments Off

Attached please find a form (PDF) to use for students who will need to take prescription medicines while on the Chicago Trip.  It can be filled out and faxed to the school office (419-877-5028) or brought to school on Friday morning.

Students who need to take prescription medicine should turn in their meds to Mrs. Hoellrich with the form (unless it was faxed earlier) on Friday morning.  The medicine will be given to the students at the proper time based on the medicine forms.

Students who already have an over the counter medicine form on file in the office will be able to get OTC medicine based on that form.  If you have not turned in an OTC form to the office at the beginning of the school year and wish for your child to have access to those medicines, you may fill out an OTC Med form (PDF): available on-line under notes from the nurse.

We will also have hard copies of these forms available to your child at school this week.

This is a form (PDF) that was sent home with the students on Friday (in case it didn’t make it home).  It is a waiver for the Kentucky Derby Parade.  Every participant (band member) must fill it out and return it to me by Tuesday to march in the parade.

Thanks,
