Picking Up Your Child From Events
During the marching season we can have some late nights. However, all parents need to be ready to pick their child. The Directors cannot leave until every student is picked up. Please pick up your child in a timely manner, the Directors would like to get home at a decent time as well so they can see their loved ones. |
