Disney Trip Information
Preparations for our Disney performance trip are going very well! Now is the time to share detailed information with everyone and get the final process rolling.
Disney Trip Details Confirmation – ACTION REQUIRED!
To insure that all participants and parents have the essential information for the trip, PLEASE CLICK HERE AND COMPLETE THE ONLINE FORM.
This form takes the place of a big paper packet and a lengthy meeting. It is relatively long and detailed. Please complete it with parent and student together, and give it about 20-30 minutes. Once you have completed it, you will have a very clear picture of what is happening, AND have some additional items to take action on, such as Remind signup, medication forms, and uniform preparation.
Click here to download a summary of ALL the information contained in the online form.
Volunteer Needs
We need help going through uniforms after the Pre-Disney concert, preparing T-shirts for distribution, and donations of water bottles for the trip. The turnaround time for uniform inspection is particularly tight this year!
PLEASE CLICK HERE IF YOU CAN DONATE YOUR TIME OR SOME BOTTLED WATER FOR THE TRIP.
