Volunteers: Mr. Barnard is looking for parents to help supervise our 6th grade band for the Band Showcase. We will need parent volunteers available at 5:30 p.m. to approximatley 6:30 p.m. to help supervise before the performance and make sure that instruments are packed up and put away after the performance. You will still be able to hear your child perform their portion of the concert. If you are able to help with supervision please email Mr. Barnard at jbarnard@op97.org.
Also, the BRAVO advisory board will need help with volunteers with the Pasta Dinner fundraiser. If you would like to volunteer please contact our BRAVO Secretrary, Daphanee Lewis, at dlewis@op97.org
