Happy First Day of School!
The 5-12 band students will be receiving catalogs this week to start off our first fundraiser of the school year! We are selling Montrose apparel, and we took the constructive criticism from last year and moved from mostly red clothing, to greys, whites, and blacks. I've attached the catalog in case you don't get seen by a student, because everything is online this year. Head on over to https://fancloth.shop/swx5q to support the music department today to help us reach our goal! Thanks in advance, and let me know if you have any questions!
If you are in need of receiving weekend food packs on Fridays, please complete the Backpack Program form and return it to school as soon as possible. Dispersement will begin Aug. 29th.
Reminder for all Dual Credit students: please login to your school email to access information to help you get started on your class. You may need to order a book or two before school starts. Let Mrs. Kappenman know if you need help with anything.
