This is a plea to all Alumni!  Think back to those wonderful years you had in school.  All the sports you played in, the clubs you joined, maybe you were a cheerleader!  Wasn't it great being a part of that group! What about Band?  Marching in parades, playing at football games, going to contest!  WOW!  But, it was expensive wasn't it?  That is a problem.  One that more kids are facing every year.  Is your old instrument just sitting around collecting dust?  Would you like to donate it to the school so that the kids who can't afford the cost of an instrument can be a part of the band?  We are especially in need of a Saxophone.  So, if you are moved to help, you could make a great difference in a child's life.

1. Do not telephone the school! While we certainly understand why you want to do so, your restraint will allow telephone lines to remain clear for emergency communication. This includes cell phone lines.
2. Turn your radio to KTTR 1490 AM/99.7 FM or KZNN 105.3 FM for emergency announcements. If students are to be kept at school or are being taken to a designated location, the media will be advised.
3. Do not come to the school building. To allow for the access of emergency vehicles, it will be necessary to keep the streets and parking lots clear. In addition, your child may not even be at the school but already taken to the pre-determined alternate location.
4. Impress upon your children the importance of following the directions of any school personnel, especially in times of an emergency.

WE CAN NOT EMPHASIZE HOW IMPORTANT YOUR COOPERATION IS IN AN EMERGENCY. BEING PREPARED IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF YOUR CHILDREN!
