Volunteers Needed!

We are in desperate need of workers for the November 10th Spaghetti Supper.  We have a time slot from 7-8 p.m. where we need AT LEAST 8 parent workers to sign up.  Our 7th/8th grade orchestras perform that evening as well (at NCHS) but our performance will be done by 6:30 p.m.  So there will even be time for you to eat before your shift.  If students want to help they can help with cleaning tables, trash, etc., but parents are needed in the kitchen.  Please consider volunteering, you can sign up here: Spaghetti Supper Workers

ILMEA

I am very proud of the 12 students we had work on the music and audition for ILMEA on Monday.  What better way to spend your day off of school than practicing away in a big orchestra filled with the best musicians around!  Hoping to have some results for you later this week!
