This is our last opportunity to help others and also to bless our community. You can place the books in the box outside the band room. Make sure to turn in the form as well with your name and how many books you brought in. 4 books will equal 1 hour of volunteer time, 8 books will be 2 hours and 12 books will be 3 hours of vounteer hours.

For those interested in the Honor Medal the final concert (when these will be handed out) is May 17th.
