Elf Party:

Because we reached our $10,000 goal for Jags Raise, we will be having an Elf Party to celebrate! Students are invited to come celebrate the end of our semester on the evening of December 13th in the band room. The party will last from 3:30-5:30, and include games, snacks, and prizes.

Band Holiday Party:

The student-organized band holiday party will occur this Saturday, December 14th at 6 PM. Please have your students reach out to Sean Gaffney for more details! This is always a fun event with some ridiculous traditions, so your student will have a great time! Students should bring $5 and a White Elephant gift.

I am so fortunate to be here and interact with the students and families in this band program.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me at tmclaine@dcsdk12.org if you have any questions.

Let’s go Jags!

Best,

Trevor McLaine
